Mark Too was my father: Eldoret woman demands share of multi-million family property

The High Court in Eldoret will in September deliver a ruling on an application to conduct DNA tests filed by a woman claiming to be the biological daughter of late MP Mark Too. 
Chepkoech Too had in February filed the application for DNA to ascertain her paternity after the late MP’s widows disowned her. She filed the application in the succession case that has been pending in court since 2017.

Justice Eric Ogola said the court will issue its ruling on September 22. In her application, Ms Chepkoech claimed she is Too’s daughter and has a right to be included in the sharing of his vast estate. She faulted widows Mary and Sophia for failing to acknowledge her and leaving her out of the distribution of the estate. Through lawyer Diana Ndirangu, Chepkoech said it was unfair to lock her out of the sharing of the estate and demanded that a DNA test be conducted to solve the paternity issue before the succession case could continue.
