A woman has moved to court to stop her former husband from demanding a share of Sh30 million property in Uasin Gishu and Kakamega counties.
Caroline Osoto, who argues she acquired the properties by herself, moved to the High Court in Eldoret seeking orders to be granted their full ownership in a protracted dispute with her former husband Martin Osoto.
The properties include two prime plots in Kimumu Estate, along Eldoret-Iten highway, and two-acres in Lugari sub-county in Kakamega.
On the plots are several rental houses and business premises that generate monthly income of more than Sh100,000.In her suit, Caroline claims her former husband never contributed towards acquisition of the properties and development of the prime plots during their marriage of 27 years.
She told Justice Stephen Githinji that their differences were irreconcilable.
She told the judge that her former husband used fraudulent means to insert his names in title deeds of her plots despite the fact that he contributed nothing to acquisition and development of the properties.
The former husband dismissed her allegations that he did not financially contribute to the acquisition and development of the disputed plots.
