The High Court in Eldoret has dismissed an application by a housing company to control part of the late farmer Malakwen arap Sisiwa's multi-billion-shilling estate.

Justice Reuben Nyakundi dismissed the application by the Rural Housing Estate associated with Shrikesh Gheewala that sought the revocation of certificate of confirmation grant issued to the deceased's four children.

Justice Nyakundi said the company was at liberty to engage with the appointed trustees of the estate on their interests. "Given the above background, I order that the application dated July 26, 2024 is hereby dismissed.

The interests of the applicant are sufficiently protected by the trust provision in the amended certificate of confirmed grant that is dated April 28, 2023," said the judge.
