A brother to the late businessman Roger Bryan Robson has testified in a Sh 500 million property dispute case involving the deceased and Politician Agnes Kagure.

The witness further testified that on several occasions, his brother had informed him of attempts by fraudsters to steal his property by making false claims of.

In the case, Kagure and Mutaha sued Roger’s lawyer Guy Spencer Elms accusing him of forging signatures on his will. The deceased left the lawyer in charge of execution and management of his will.

Mutaha, who claims to be a director of Plovers Haunt limited, the company that rightfully owns the land, claims Roger transferred his shares in the company to him for free.

According to his will, Roger indicated that the estates should be sold and proceeds shared between his nephew and charitable institutions in Kenya that focus on environmental conservation.
