Holding

The preliminary objection is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The deceased, Mutio Mutwii Kamwilu, passed away on May 2, 2004. The three petitioners petitioned for letters of administration on June 5, 2013. Patrick Kavindyo Muasya, an interested-party, claimed a share of the estate and the deceased's shares in Konza Ranching and Farming Co-operative Society Limited.

Issues

  1. Ownership of the property
  2. Jurisdiction of the court

Reasoning

The court found that the preliminary objection raised both matters of law and disputed facts, making it inappropriate for disposal by a preliminary objection. The entry of appearance by the interested-party is provided for by law and the matter should proceed through due process.

Outcome

Preliminary Objection Dismissed
