Court allows ex-judge to throw sister out of his farmRetired judge Tom Mbaluto has been allowed to evict his younger sister from a parcel of land in Machakos county after the High Court upheld an earlier decision by a magistrate’s court that the property belonged to the former judicial officer. Environment and Land Court judge Christine Ochieng ruled that Ms Beatrice Mueni Mbiti, failed to prove that she had purchased the land from her elder brother in 1996, as claimed. Ms Mbiti moved to the Environment court after her claim for the land was dismissed by Chief Magistrate Ann Nyoike on April 22, 2021. The woman admitted that Mr Mbaluto was her elder brother who took care of her from a tender age until adulthood. She pleaded with the court to overturn the decision and issue a declaration that she was the sole proprietor of the land.
