A court in Eldoret yesterday dissolved the marriage of veteran politician Jackson Kibor to his second wife Josephine Jepkoech with whom they have been married for 51 years.
Chief Magistrate Charles Obulutsa ordered that their marriage certificate be cancelled following a successful divorce case filed by the 83 year old politician cum businessman.
Obulutsa annulled the marriage on the grounds that Josephine had been proved to be cruel to her husband causing the marriage to be irretrievably broken.
Kibor had accused his wife of cruelty, desertion, interfering with his land at Kipkabus and the court agreed with Kibor on all grounds except desertion which his lawyers could not prove.
