The executor of the will, responsible for overseeing the distribution of the estate, has reportedly failed to disclose the full extent of the late President Moi's assets, prolonging the legal proceedings and delaying Gift's surgery.
The case, which has been pending in court for over a year, highlights the urgency of addressing Gift's medical needs.
Faith Moi has taken steps to raise funds by creating a Pay bill account and appealing to well-wishers for financial contributions.
