The Court in Eldoret has issued a warrant of arrest against a son of controversial politician cum farmer Jackson Kibor.
Chief Magistrate Charles Obulutsa issued the order against Ezekiel Kibor after he failed to appear for a case where he has been sued by his father for trespass.
Kibor has sued three of his sons for cultivating his 2,000 acres of land at Kabenes in Uasin Gishu without his consent.
The other two are Evans and Raymond and were both present for the hearing.
“I order the OCS for Eldoret Police Station to effect the arrest warrant against Ezekiel Kibor,” Obulutsa ruled.
Ezekiel is the third born son of the politician's third wife Naomi Cheptoo whom Kibor has filed a divorce case.
Kibor testified on how his sons invaded his farm and started ploughing it without his knowledge or authority.
The incident occurred on December 27 last year.
“They were armed with machetes and clubs and invaded my land which they took over forcefully”, said Kibor.
He said he was away at the time and that his sons issued death threats against workers they found on the farm.
“I quickly drove to the farm in my car mounted with sharp spikes in a bid to chase them away. It’s my land and they had no right to use it in any way”, said Kibor.
He accused his sons of even going ahead to lease part of the land to neighbours.
But the two sons present accused Kibor of lying to the court.
They Kibor sub-divided the land and gave it to them.
“Our father gave us the land and we did not invade it as he is claiming here,” said Evans.
Hearing of the case continues on February 7 2019.
