Former Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso’s widower Edwin Abonyo has been granted the rights to manage their Sh100 million estate.
Through his lawyer Fred Athuok, Abonyo had sought to be given authority to manage his deceased wife’s estate and sought to have Laboso’s name substituted with his.
The orders were granted by High Court judge Aggrey Muchelule on June 10, 2020.
However, Laboso’s sister Judy Cheptoo has ideally sought to have the orders to object to the grant of admissions to Abonyo.
