Nairobi lawyer Guy Elms Spencer has denied forging the Will of British tycoon, the late Roger Bryan Robson, who owned Sh500 million property. being claimed by politician Agnes Kagure and businessman Thomas Mutaha.
Spencer, while testifying in the case filed by Kagure and Mutaha, said he is the executor of the Will involving properties in Karen and Upper Hill on behalf of his client, the late Robson.
Robson died in 2012 aged 71 and left a Will with Spencer who was his lawyer to manage his properties estimated to be worth over Sh500 million.
He had indicated the estates should be sold and proceeds shared between his nephew and charitable institutions in Kenya that focus on environmental conservation.
However, Kagure and Mutaha oppose the Will, accusing Spencer of forging it. Kagure claims she bought the disputed piece of land in Karen from the deceased for Sh100 million in 2011 while Mutaha claims to be a director of Plovers Haunt Limited, a company that belonged to Robson.
While testifying before Justice Maureen Odero, Spencer noted there had been several attempts by different people to grab Robson’s properties.
“Prior to his death in 2012, Roger was already suffering from health complications and as a result, appointed me in January 2010 as an executor of his Will that had been drafted in 1997. He consequently issued me with a power of attorney, because he trusted me,” Spencer said.
