Holding

The grant of Letters of Administration was not obtained fraudulently and there is no material fact concealed by the petitioner.

Facts

The applicant, RAPHEL ONYANCHA MOCHAMA, is a nephew of the deceased, PAUL MOSOTA ONCHIRI. He claims that the Letters of Administration granted to PRISCAH MORAA MOSOTA, the widow of the deceased, were obtained fraudulently as she failed to disclose her nephew's interest in land No.1215.

Issues

  1. Whether the grant of Letters of Administration was obtained fraudulently
  2. Ownership of land No.1215

Reasoning

The court found that the petitioner did not conceal any material facts and that the transfer of land No.1215 to the petitioner's husband was done properly. The applicant's claim of fraud was not supported by evidence.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs
