The family of the late spymaster James Kanyotu has suffered a blow after a court ruled that two of his widows have no right to a Sh10 billion disputed property. The two widows brought a counterclaim seeking to recover the Sh10 billion property from Marriot. However, Justice Gacheru struck out their suits, ruling that only Kangaita Coffee Estate Limited, where Kanyotu was a shareholder, had the right to sue and not the estate of Kanyotu. “It is important to note that the said Kangaita Coffee Estate Limited is a company that is distinct from its shareholders,” said Gacheru. He said that Trendsetters Investments Limited was only buying a part of the property and that there was going to be subdivision of the suit property.
