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
- Ownership of the property
- 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.
