Barely five months after the death of controversial politician and businessman Jackson Kiprotich Kibor, his youthful fourth wife Eunitah Jelimo, his children and ex-wives are locked in a fierce inheritance battle over his multi-billion shilling estate.

In a succession case filed in the High Court in Eldoret, Eunitah and her advocate Jonah Korir have tabled a Will directing how her late husband's property should be divided. Kibor's estate is estimated to be worth more than Sh1.5 billion. The property includes large tracts of land, commercial and residential plots in Eldoret, Nairobi and Mombasa, motor vehicles and farm machinery and company shares.

But Kibor's ex-wives Josephina and Naomi Kibor and their children are dismissing the Will as a forgery. Eunitah, 43, also wants to be the sole administrator of her husband's estate, claiming that she is the only widow of the late Kibor. In her petition, the widow said that her husband had made a written Will on February 27, 2021, a year before his death. She said the will was written before his lawyer and that the original copy could be availed in court whenever needed.
