Kihika children fight to wrest control of Sh600m estate from mothers

What you need to know:

  • Mr Kihika, a former firebrand politician, died in 2004 leaving behind eight widows and 41 children among them the Nakuru Senator Susan Wakarura Kihika.
  • In 2009, the court appointed four co-administrators, namely Margaret, Alice, Mary and Miriam.

  • The grant was, however, not confirmed after the widows failed to agree on the decision.

  • Last year, three of Kihika’s children joined in the succession battle in bid to oust their four mothers as estate administrators.

The long-standing court battle pitting eight widows of the former Nakuru North MP Dickson Kihika Kimani over the sharing of his Sh600 million property may not be ending soon after it roped in his children.

Mr Kihika, a former firebrand politician who served in three different constituencies during former presidents Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Moi’s regime, died in 2004 leaving behind eight widows and 41 children among them the Nakuru Senator Susan Wakarura Kihika.
