The former president had eight children: Jennifer, Jonathan, John Mark, Raymond, Philip, Doris, June and Gideon. Jonathan died in April last year.
Under Kenyan law, after one dies, their family is required to nominate an administrator then file an application at the High Court’s family division.
Nairobi-based lawyer Zehrababu Janmohammed could be appointed to manage former President Daniel arap Moi’s vast estate if an application by his family is allowed.
Family sources have revealed to the Nation that the application was formally filed at the Milimani High Court on Tuesday.
