The ruling, delivered by Presiding Judge Anuro Wananda, grants Chepkoech legal status as a beneficiary of an estate estimated at Sh7 billion (about $54 million). “The only way to resolve the issue of my paternity is to order a DNA test to enable me to get a share of my father’s estate,” Chepkoech previously stated in court, according to The Star Kenya. The test results definitively confirmed that Chepkoech and Bakari are half-siblings, sharing the same father. While this ruling provides a definitive answer to the question of paternity, the legal journey is far from over. As the succession proceedings continue, the case remains one of the largest and most significant private estate disputes in Kenya’s recent history.
