Drama in Nakuru Law Courts as Moi’s Grandson Collins Kibet Jailed Over Child Support Row

Members of the Kabarak Trust have been summoned to appear in court to explain why the former President Daniel Moi’s great grandchild has not been enrolled to the Kabarak Group of Schools.

Principal Magistrate Kipkurui Kibellion issued the orders against the members of the trust to shed light on why the courts order issued to Mzee Moi’s grandson Collins Kibet in regards to the enrollment of his minor to the school have not been complied with.

The court had in its February 13 directed that Kibet facilitates the enrolment of one of his children to the Kabarak Group of Schools while paying fees for the other in its current school.

The court had further directed that the Moi’s scion enrolls the two minors to Kabarak Health Care Centre medical Scheme for medical insurance cover.

The Magistrate issued the summons after it emerged that none of the orders have been complied.

Mr Moi through his lawyer told the court that he had made efforts to comply by reaching out to the trustees in vain.

The Magistrate said he will allow Kibet to continue making the efforts but have the trustees appear to shed light on the issue.

The trustees are required to appear in Court on July 23.

Meanwhile, the court committed Kibet to a civil jail term for two weeks for contempt of court orders.

The magistrate while issuing the committal order noted that Kibet has not shown any efforts to comply with the orders and thus failed to act in the best interest of the minors.

According to the Magistrate, Kibet waited until he was arrested pursuant to an arrest warrant for him to start acting.

He continued, “I cannot say that the judgment debtor is working towards what constitutes the best interests of the minor. As a parent he is duty bound to provide for the children.”

Kibet was arrested on Thursday last week in Rongai, Nairobi County pursuant to a warrant of arrest issued on May 8 before he was transferred to Nakuru Central police station where he has been held for five days.

He is accused of failing to comply with orders of the judgment issued in June 2022 by resident magistrate Benjamin Limo.

The judgment emanated from the suit that was filed by his ex-wife Gladys Jeruto who accused him of absconding his parental responsibility.
