A new twist into a succession suit by one of the windows of the former chief spy James Kanyotu has emerged after the government chemist disown a DNA report filed in court
According to court documents by one of Kanyotu’s sons Willy Kahara shows that on July 30,2018 one Mary Wanjiku Kanyotu filed a witness statement where she attached a DNA report allegedly carried out by the Government Chemist and particular by one Lilian Ouma dated June 13,2018 in an attempt to disinherit him (Willy Kahara) from the Estate of the late Kanyotu.
In his affidavit, Kahara complains that he has never participated in the DNA exercise and yet he got results.
“The DNA was done without my knowledge so as to be locked out of succession case No 1239 of 2008 Estate of Kanyotu,” he said.
He avers that after receiving the DNA reports he lodged his complaint at Directorate of Criminal Investigation department on several fake documents filed in court in the succession case No. 1239 of 2008 Estate of the later Kanyotu.
Apart from the fake DNA report others alleged fake documents includes a K.C.P.E school leaving certificate also allegedly filed by Mary Wanjiku, purporting that they are his (Kahara) which to the best of his knowledge are fake and forged documents required investigation.
Kihara adds that after his complainant of the alleged fake DNA report and of the documents filed in the case, the Government Chemist through Ali Gakweli filed its response in case.
Gakweli says that” we wish to clarify that the DNA report purported to have been authored and signed by one Lilian Ouma is not our report. And Ouma is not one of our reporting officers, the stated file case reference No. N98/2018 is a completely different case from our records.”
The Government Chemist further claims that the origin of the fake report should therefore be thoroughly investigated including the person who presented the same.
“We commit to work together with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and other relevant investigating arms of Government to get to the bottom of this matter,” said Gakweli.
He suggested that the presenter of the fake report be prosecuted.
The DCI may soon arrest and charge the presenter with offences of making false documents if found evidence.
The Investigations into the fake documents come after earlier High Court lady justice Margaret Muigai issued an order to the effect that any party in the case who has a complaint and or has received any form of a threat should file the same in court through an affidavit and that the DCI shall investigate the same.
