• Mwai Kibaki is a father of four.

• The wealth distribution is to be handled by a chosen 'agency'.

It has now emerged that the late Mwai Kibaki had left a will directing that all his wealth be divided equally among his 4 kids.

5 years, 4 months ago Kibaki wrote his will.

The will submitted in court directed that Judy Wanjiku, Jimmy Kibaki, Tony Githinji, and David Kagi be given their father's wealth.

The will further directed that all the money Kibaki held in different banks should also be shared equally among his kids.

After a gazette notice was put out asking anyone against the directive on the will to present themselves, two people have come out claiming to be Kibaki's son.

JNL says she was born when her mother and Kibaki were students in London. She is claiming to be Kibaki's firstborn.

Jacob Ocholla also says he is entitled to a share of the wealth.

Mwai Kibaki died aged 90 after years of battling ill health.

In a past interview with Standard, Ocholla said he found out Mwai Kibaki was his dad when he turned 22.

He says he has tried contacting different prominent personalities whom he thought could help.

"I have tried to solve this. I went to the extent of contacting individuals who I knew could help. I contacted Cardinal John Njue, I did so because my late father was a staunch Catholic and I thought the church would help.

I also visited the Presidents office and they promised to get in touch with me but they never did, that was three years ago. I also contacted Willy Mutunga."

He also went to Othaya and talked to Mwai Kibaki's sister to no avail

"I went to Othaya and talked to my aunt Waitherero. I want to specify that I am not the brother of the late President, I am his son.

I have been in the picture, I am well known to the GSU guards at his offices, every time I went to visit him I went with my son and the driver. I did make attempts to visit him in the hospital but I did not get any access, the CEO of the hospital refused to."
