A woman has moved to court to seek recognition as the legitimate daughter of the late Johnson Matheka Nzioka, who died in a car accident on February 16, 2025.
Catherine Ndanu in a suit filed at the Chief Magistrate's Court in Nairobi, accuses her stepmother, Ruth Kyengo, and Lee Funeral Home of excluding her from the funeral arrangements for her father.
Ndanu, through her lawyer Muturi Andrew, demands to be acknowledged as Nzioka's daughter and to be included in the plans for his burial, scheduled for February 28, 2025.
She argues that despite her father's lifelong support for her even after his separation from her mother in 1999 she has been shut out of the funeral preparations.
