Agricultural tycoon in Eldoret Mr Kibor has engaged in so many controversies with his family that he could currently be Kenya’s Kardashian socialites imitation.
On Tuesday, the magistrate’s court granted Kibor divorce, terming his marriage to Naomi ‘irretrievably broken down’ and noting that the two were unwilling to resolve their differences amicably.
On the same Tuesday,a fierce fire destroyed hay worth Sh1.5 million belonging to veteran farmer and politician’s son Jackson Kibor.

Mr Kibor’s son, Elkana Kipletting, said the store had 4,000 bales of hay collected after a recent harvest of wheat.
“I have recorded a statement with the police and I hope that the cause of the inferno is unearthed and justice served,” he said.
According to family members, one of the workers who was asleep in the store sustained serious burns.
Eldoret West OCPD Zakaria Bitok, who visited the scene, said they had started investigations into the incident. “We have visited the the scene and the son has already recorded a statement.
Naomi Jeptoo Mr Kipleting’s mother,said the fire broke out at midnight.”I was woken up by my neighbour saying that my son’s store was burning. I tried calling Elkana (Kipletting) but he was fast asleep”.
The incident has greatly astonished the family who wish that justice be served if the perpetrators are nabbed.
Even after being divorced by veteran farmer and politician Jackson Kibor on Tuesday, Jeptoo revealed she still loves him.
A day after an Eldoret court dissolved her marriage to Kibor, his third wife of 43 years and mother of six spoke about her profound love for the octogenarian.
Kibor had filed for divorce last March, accusing his third wife of subjecting him to mental anguish.
Later in a candid interview, Jeptoo said she did not expect the court to rule in her husband’s favour. She also ruled out appealing the ruling.
The tycoon has made a record of divorcing two of his wives in 14 months.When he is not divorcing his wives, he is suing his sons, evading parking fees or welding spikes on his vehicles.
Other than his ex-wives and sons he referred to as invaders, Kibor has been locked in a fight with his daughter-in-law.In January, he deflated the wheels of his daughter-in-law’s tractor.”They want to rob me of the land but I will not accept that,” the farmer said.
Do you think his paranoid like acts may be the reason behind the latest fire karma.
