Collins Kibet Toroitich, 45, a grandson of the late President Daniel Arap Moi has been kicked out from his residential house over rent arrears and is now on the streets because he has no money to neither provide for himself nor his family. Kibet told the High Court in Milimani on Monday, February 7, that the rent arrears have accumulated to more than KShs. 240,000. This is for the six months period he failed to pay his landlord leading to his eviction.

Collins further complained that he has been excluded from the management of a multi-billion estate that was left by his late father Jonathan Kipkemboi Moi, who passed on in 2019, wealth that is said to be in billions of shillings, inclusive of what he received from his late father, former President Moi’s estate. Jonathan had however not written a will on the distribution of his vast wealth among his family and dependants, throwing the powerful family into a protracted legal battle.

Collins, who is living a troubled life is accusing his stepmother Sylvia Cherotich and stepbrother Clint Kiprono of failing to look after him. He is grumbling of neglect, despite being dependent on the estate left by his late dad, Jonathan. Collins argued that he was not involved in the obtaining of court orders to manage the multi-billion property. In what is slowly escalating into a vicious property row, Collins through his lawyer told the court that he wants to be enjoined as a  co-administrator of the estate. He also wants all transactions involving the estate stopped till the case is determined.

Collins’ wife Gladys Jeruto and her children are also seeking to be enjoined in the court battle so that their maintenance can be taken care of by the estate as the scramble for the billions escalates. Other than Collin's arguments, Jonathan's widow is also facing separate suits from two women who claim to have been married by the deceased.
