In his words, Gachagua says that his brother left the most advanced Will in the republic of Kenya that todate is studied in law schools across the country.
He also alleges that the deceased ordered all his properties be sold and the proceeds be used for debt repayment and the remaining amount be distributed to the beneficiaries as he had stated.
Two things caught my attention, one is that apart from the two wives in the public domain; Nderitu had other children who were among the beneficiaries. From the look of things, this did not auger well with the first and probably the second family.
Thing two, though they might have had issues with the beneficiaries. Nderitu might have made his wish clear to the family members before his death. If that was not the case, most likely they would have opposed the Will and petitioned the court to review it.
But they all agreed and the judge gave a go ahead to the administrators to execute the Will.
What is it that has changed, 8 years down the line that some members of the family now feel short changed? Is it malice, political witch hunt or were they coerced at that time not to oppose the Will?
Also, how will the President help them? The best avenue would have been filing an inheritance dispute in a court of law.
Anyway Micii ni ndogo, or does the phrase not apply in this case.
