Three out of eight widows of the late maverick politician Kihika Kimani have won big after the High Court partially distributed his estate on Friday.
In Justice Samwel Mohochi's verdict, Margaret Wambui, Alice Mukuhi, and Jane Wanjiru and their 23 children got a huge share of the estate.
The judge ruled that Mary Wangari, Winnie Wanjeri, Charity Nyambura, Mirriam Warau, and Lucy Wangari had no proof why the estate should be divided equally among the eight widows.
He ruled that six properties were available for distribution while 24 properties had disputes and some had no documents, hence unavailable for distribution. "I find the following assets available to be distributed: 109 acres in Muthengera Farm, Nyahururu, 153 acres in Roselyn Farm, Njoro, 57 acres Shangilia Farm, 314 acres Marmanet Farm, 314 acres in Laikipia and properties in Engashura," he ruled.
