What you need to know:

  • Mr Onyango wants the court to block the women from taking part in the succession proceedings in court.
  • He says the two have no legal capacity to sue as widows.
  • The case, which was filed under a certificate of urgency, will be heard on November 14.

Two women claiming to be widows of the late Nakuru tycoon Eliakim Olweny risk being locked out of his multi-billion property if a new application by his son contesting their marriage is allowed.

The capacity of Mr Olweny to get married to Ms Norah Atieno Wasonga and Ann Wanjiru, who are seeking to be recognised as heirs to the estate, is the subject of contention in the application filed by one of his sons late last month.
