Seek Justice in the Succession Case No. 274 of 86 involving the late Tabitha Muthoni
Seek Justice in the Succession Case No. 274 of 86 involving the late Tabitha Muthoni
The Issue
My name is a deeply tied part of the decades-long succession case No. 274 of 86 involving my late mother, Tabitha Muthoni. Despite her death, her legacy remains embroiled in a legal battle against Kuria Muchunu, the respondent in the High Court civil appeal No. 126 of 99.
This legal journey has not only taken a physical toll on us, her family, but it also strains the memories we have of her, overshadowing them with painful court proceedings and ongoing legal squabbles. It represents the struggle of many families in our country entangled in similar succession disputes.
The Kenyan judiciary annual report of 2018/19 acknowledged that succession cases like ours constitute a significant percentage of the civil cases in courts [Kenyan Judiciary Annual Report]. Yet, these cases represent more than mere figures or statistics. They signify lives put on hold, inheritances left inaccessible, and the summary dismissal of the last wishes of many departed souls.
In this spirit, we beseech the High Court of Kenya to expedite the resolution regarding the civil appeal No. 126 of 99 relating to the succession case No. 274 of 86. We seek justice, closure, and a chance to honour Tabitha Muthoni's memory free from the lingering shadow of this dispute.
If you believe in justice, and the ability of our legal systems to deliver it swiftly and fairly, please sign and share this petition - for Tabitha Muthoni and for all those embroiled in succession cases still awaiting their day in court.
