Lupita’s father and Aunt to be jailed for six months

Just when Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o and sister Risper Nyagoy thought they have resolved their crisis one of their nephew has filed a fresh application seeking a six months jail term for the governor and his sister Risper Nyagoy for contempt of court.

According to Kenneth Odhiambo the governor and his sister failed to comply with a court order issued by the High Court judge Tripsisa Cherere in October.

In addition he said, he also wants Susan Mudhune, Esther Nyong’o and Mary Owiti be committed to civil jail for a period not excluding six months.

He moved to court just hours after Nyong’o and Risper withdrew an appeal challenging the High Court decision that required them to include their nephews and nieces as beneficiaries to their farther’s Sh 200million estate.

Justice Tripsisa Cherere in the ruling ordered Nyong’o to include all children belonging to their sisters as beneficiaries to the multi-million property.

In their appeal, the two were seeking orders of stay of execution of the judgment issued by Justice Cherere pending hearing and determination of the appeal.

The grounds in the appeal were that they were dissatisfied and aggrieved by the judgment and are against the entire decision.

They also felt the appeal had a high chance of success and, therefore, must be heard before any execution of the orders.

However, on December 19, they withdrew the application.

“The notice of motion dated 29th of October 2018 filled by the petitioners herein is hereby marked as withdrawn with no orders as to cost, “read the court document.

This means the governor and sister will have to comply with the high court ruling.

In the case, the two nephews accused the two of neglecting the children of their other sisters Margaret Awuor and Judith Nyong’o, who were daughters of Shimei.

Omondi is the eldest son of Judith, now deceased.

The applicants are accusing Nyong’o and Nyagoy of concealing important information on confirmation of the grant and not accounting for the estate.
