What you need to know:

  • Through lawyer Paul Muite, she has written to the Ministry of Land, the DCI, and NLC expressing her concern.
  • Mrs Mbiyu claims the meetings have been attended by officials from the Ministry of Land.
  • In January, 2019, the parties will return to the High Court for the distribution of the estate.

Efforts to distribute the estate of former Cabinet Minister Peter Mbiyu Koinange equally between his widows might be thrown into disarray following revelations that there are plans to sell part of the Sh10 billion empire before the exercise begins.

Mrs Eddah Wanjiru Mbiyu, one of the four widows, has claimed that strangers have been holding meetings on Closeburn Estate, one of the properties in the succession case, with a view to having it subdivided.
