Collins Toroitich Kibet, the grandson of the late Kenyan President Daniel Moi, has been arrested. He evaded authorities for several months. Authorities captured him in Ongata Rongai on September 17, 2024.

This concluded a seven-month search. The search was initiated due to his failure to follow court orders about child support for his two children. Kibet had been on the run since a writ for his arrest was issued earlier in the year. He neglected his financial responsibilities towards his children.

The legal troubles for Kibet began in 2021. His ex-wife, Gladys Jeruto Tagi, took him to court for neglecting his obligations. Kibet claimed financial hardship. He stated he only afford his children’s medical expenses through insurance.

He also relied on donations from well-wishers. An affidavit revealed that his children had to transfer to a public school. He couldn’t pay school fees. The fees had accumulated to at least Ksh 2.2 million by 2022.

Multiple court summons were issued and attempts were made to serve him with legal documents. Kibet managed to evade capture. This led to contempt proceedings against him in January 2024.

His ex-wife’s lawyer argued that she not support their children financially on her own. Reports indicated that the children were forced to stay home due to unpaid school fees. Kibet’s claims of being broke and his attempts to deny his marriage to Jeruto further complicated the situation.

Kibet’s arrest marks a significant turn in a prolonged legal battle. This battle has drawn public attention due to his familial connections. The case highlights issues of parental responsibility and the challenges faced by single parents in securing support for their children.

As the legal proceedings continue, Kibet’s actions will have implications. The court’s decisions will likely resonate within the broader context of family law in Kenya.
