Tanzanian Bakari has been charged with meddling with a deceased person’s property.
The DCI had said in a court affidavit that the Tanzanian national had threatened to flee if granted police cash bail pending arraignment.
Mulwa died in New York on October 16, 2023. He left behind an enviable estate, estimated to be upwards of Sh500 million. He was a dual citizen of Kenya and the United States.
Bakari Kisalu Malanda, a Tanzanian man, says that he is an adopted son of former Pepsi director William Mutilangi Mulwa, whose multimillion-shilling estate he is laying claim to.
A chief magistrate’s court in Nairobi released him on cash bail in a case where he has been charged with meddling with a deceased person’s property. Senior Principal Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe granted him cash bail of Sh100,000 with an alternative of a Sh200,000 bond and one surety of a similar amount.
