The fight for control of the multi-million estate of former Nakuru mayor Joseck Thuo has taken a new twist, with a woman claiming to be his daughter seeking a share.

Marion Wangui, through her lawyer Owino Oenga, wants the High Court in Nakuru to stay proceedings in an ongoing succession case pending the hearing and determination of her appeal.

The court, she said, should order her inclusion as a beneficiary in the distribution of the estate.
