Controversial Kanu era businessman Jackson Kibor has said he has no issue marrying another younger wife to take care of him.

Kibor, 83, who has never shied away from controversy recently expressed liberty when he said no one has any authority to lecture him on the number of wives he can marry, adding that old age is not a justification to stop one from loving.

“I will in fact marry a younger wife if I want because it is my right to age gracefully, a man with many years like mine needs a young woman that can massage and clean him, feed him and show him love, not somebody that quarrels him every time,” said Kibor amid laughter.

Kibor was speaking on Thursday, January 25, after an Eldoret Court allowed the withdrawal of a case in which he was charged last week with misuse of a firearm due to lack of evidence.

This was after he allegedly attempted to shoot at his son Ezekiel who never testified in the case.

“I have many children and wives and some of them are stubborn, if a younger wife will help me overcome this distress I will not hesitate to marry a fifth one. Even in terms of diet, young meat is tender and nutritious,” said Kibor.

The octogenarian who has also been involved in politics and at one point was the Kanu chairman in Uasin Gishu and Chairman Wareng County Council (now Uasin Gishu County) in 2017 dominated headlines and trended widely after divorcing a woman he had married in 1965.

Kibor filed a case in a bid to divorce Josephine Jepkoech, 68, who was his second wife after 52 years in marriage citing denial of conjugal rights, hostility and desertion.

The court granted Kibor his wish on October 6, 2017, though Jepkoech has filed an appeal against the magistrate’s court decision.

In his affidavit in the divorce case, Kibor stated he was polygamous and had four wives namely Mary Kibor who is deceased, Josephine who he was divorcing, Naomi and Eunita.

He currently lives with Eunita whom he married in 2002 in his Chepkoilel home in Uasin Gishu and they have five children together.

Before the court verdict dismissing a firearm abuse charge against Kibor, the octogenarian had early this month reinforced the bumper of one of his Toyota Landcruiser pickups with sharp spikes, saying they were for keeping enemies away.

Police officers intervened and he removed the spikes but he shared another narrative concerning the spikes in the bumper of the green pickup.

“The spikes would work well in puncturing tyres of illegal tractors ploughing my farm, I had allocated some portions to my sons to cultivate but since some are lazy, they have hired them out without permission and some outsiders want to cultivate them,” said the established farmer.

The tycoon farmer who owns over 3000 acres of land in Kipkabus, Kabenes, Moiben in Uasin Gishu and Kitale says he cannot allow an outsider to plough his land when he is still alive.

“I still can afford to till all my land and grow crops, when I give land to my sons and they fail to till and instead opt to lease, the lessee will be unlucky because I will not allow them in my farm which I toiled for decades to acquire,” said Kibor.

The old man has on several occasions blamed some of his children of being lazy and scheming to forcibly take over his property and has even filed a case of trespass against his six sons.

“I have huge tracts of land but I will be buried in a very small portion, I cannot go with all this property to the grave but also I cannot stand seeing these assets squandered by lazy children. I have a plan to allocate all my children land which they can use as they please when I have rested,” said Kibor.

One of Kibor’s children who has been openly at loggerheads with him is Loice Kibor who contested in the Jubilee Party primaries seeking a senatorial ticket in Uasin Gishu last year but failed.

“Mzee doesn’t support my political ambitions and instead is funding my other brother to vie for an MP seat in one of the Uasin Gishu constituencies,” said Loice the first born child of the divorced wife.

After the divorce judgment last year, Kibor threatened to disown Loice, saying he is not sure she was his biological daughter.

“I will only consider her after a DNA test, she got born less than nine months after I married her mother,” Kibor said.

Kibor is now determined to formally repossess his pistol which was confiscated by police after last year’s confrontation with his son, reiterating that he had never misused the firearm since the government gave it to him in the 80s.

Other controversies surrounding Kibor include the incident in which he cut off a clamp using a hacksaw which had been put on his Toyota V8 car by Uasin Gishu county askaris after he failed to pay parking fees.
