Decade-long Mark Too succession case resumes as widows appear in court

The late MP died in 2016 without a will, leaving behind 19 farms across Uasin Gishu, Nakuru, Nandi and Trans Nzoia, vehicles, and company shares valued at billions.

Appearing in court on Wednesday, Mary Too, 70, who is recognized as the first wife, accused her co-wife Sophie Too of taking control of most of the property, including land worth an estimated Ksh.7 billion.

While giving her testimony, Mary told Justice John Chigiti that she is not seeking land for herself, but wants her son Moses Too to get an additional 200 acres on top of the 170 acres already allocated.

She also expressed concern that parts of the estate are being sold off and asked the court to protect what is left for the grandchildren.

The session was heated at times. Mary asked the court to allow her to sit while testifying due to her age and later told Senior Counsel Tom Ojienda to go easy on her with questions.

Ojienda, who is representing Sophie Too’s side, told the court the estate had been shared through a mutual agreement. Mary, however, said she had since rejected that formula.

The court heard that apart from the two widows, 7 other witnesses, including Moses Too and Sophie Too, will testify when the hearing resumes on July 21, 2026.

The case has dragged on for nearly a decade and has also included DNA battles over who qualifies as a beneficiary.
