The decision follows the court’s acceptance of DNA test results that confirmed she is indeed his biological child.
The ruling brings to an end a long legal battle over the vast wealth left behind by Mark Too, who was one of the most influential figures during the KANU era.
His estate, estimated to be worth about Sh7 billion, includes large tracts of land, business interests, and other valuable investments spread across different parts of the country.
For years, questions had surrounded Chepkoech Too’s claim to the inheritance. The dispute led to a court-ordered DNA test to settle the matter once and for all.
After scientific analysis confirmed paternity, the court upheld the findings, stating that the results were clear and could not be challenged.
In its ruling, the court said the DNA evidence provided solid proof of the father-daughter relationship.
As a result, Chepkoech Too is legally recognised as one of the beneficiaries of the estate.
The judge noted that inheritance cases must be decided based on evidence and the law, not speculation or personal opinions.
The decision is significant because of the size and value of the estate involved.
Mark Too was known for his close ties to powerful leaders during the KANU period and built considerable wealth through business and politics.
After his death, the management and distribution of his property became a subject of dispute among those claiming to be rightful heirs.
With the court now confirming Chepkoech’s status, the next step will involve the formal process of sharing out the estate according to succession laws.
Legal experts say the ruling sets an important example on how modern scientific methods, such as DNA testing, can help resolve complex family and inheritance disputes.
Family inheritance battles are not uncommon, especially when large estates are involved.
In many cases, disagreements arise over whether someone is a lawful child or dependent of the deceased.
Courts often rely on documentary evidence, witness testimony, and increasingly, scientific testing to determine the truth.
For Chepkoech Too, the ruling marks the end of a long and emotional journey. It not only secures her share of the estate but also publicly affirms her connection to her late father.
Supporters say the judgment restores fairness and ensures that justice is served.
