The ongoing property battle pitting Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong' o and his nephews has moved to the Court of Appeal as he seeks to salvage himself.
On October 11, Justice Thripisa Cherere ruled in favour of the applicants' favour, directing Nyong'o and his sister Risper Nyagoy to include John Okuthe and Geoffrey Omondi as beneficiaries of the property.
The multimillion property in question includes a 100 acre piece of land in Kisumu, and other parcels of land in other parts of Kisumu and Nairobi.
But the Governor and his sister have now moved to the appellate court seeking orders to quash the earlier Kisumu High Court ruling.
“The court be pleased to grant an order of stay of execution of the judgment issued by Justice Cherere pending hearing and determination of the appeal,” reads the application in part as was seen by the Nation.
And with the nieces also having filed an appeal seeking to compel the Governor and his sister to produce books of account of the property in question, Nyong'o and the sister are also out to stop the same.
They are yet to produce the books even after the lapse of the 45 days period given by the court, 60 days after the ruling.
Both appeals will be heard on December 19.
The property was left by Nyong'o's father Shimei Nyong'o who did not leave a will behind after his death.
