The family of the late Francis Kipkoech Kimoso, a prominent and wealthy farmer in Uasin Gishu County, is embroiled in a court battle over the sharing of his wealth.
A section of the tycoon's children, led by his eldest daughter Margaret Kimoso, have filed a suit before an Eldoret court challenging the validity of a purported will detailing how the deceased's estate should be distributed among the beneficiaries.
The deceased who passed on 13 years ago at the age of 67 years, had two wives, both deceased, and 18 children.
The late Kimoso's vast empire is valued at an estimated Sh1.5 billion, consisting of several parcels of agricultural land spread across Elgeyo Marakwet and Uasin Gishu counties.
