Holding

Uncontested properties will be distributed as follows: Tetu Ichagachiru/213 to be shared among the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd houses, and Tanyai/Haraka Scheme Plot 78 (Bellevue) to the 4th house.

Facts

Eliud Ndegwa Mahenia died in 1986, leaving five houses and five wives. His administrator sought to distribute assets, while other administrators protested and proposed their own distributions.

Issues

  1. Ownership of Marmanet/Melwa Block 1/Muhotetu 984
  2. Distribution of Ichagachiru land

Reasoning

The judge ruled that the uncontested properties would be distributed as proposed by the 4th administrator, while the contested properties would await further court proceedings.

Outcome

The judge ruled in favor of the administrator on uncontested properties and deferred the distribution of contested properties to the Nyahururu ELC case.

Orders

  • Each party to bear their own costs
  • Fix a mention date in six months for the other assets
