June 18, 2021, marked a crucial day in a child support case involving Collins Toroitich Kibet, the grandson of former President Daniel Arap Moi. He was required to undergo a DNA test at the Lancet laboratories in Nakuru to confirm the paternity of two children alleged to be his by his former wife Gladys Jeruto Tagi.
However, Mr. Kibet failed to appear for the test, prompting his former wife to return to court accusing him of contempt of court. In her contempt proceedings, she sought to have Mr. Moi's grandson jailed for six months for disobeying court orders.
Nakuru Senior Resident Magistrate Benjamin Limo has since summoned Collins Toroitich Kibet to appear in person to defend himself against accusations of contempt of court.
