In Kenya, the habit of siblings and secret families emerging after the death of a prominent or not-so-prominent person is becoming a norm.
However, the motif behind such acts is always tied to money and the need to be included in the will of the deceased -if any.
The late president Mwai Kibaki's death was not an exception from this kind of 'prey'. A 62-year-old Jacob Ochola Mwai was alleged to be the late president's son after his death.
Looking for recognition in case of Kibaki's demise to be part of the family, he allegedly tried to reach out and visit the late Kibaki in Nairobi hospital but he was always turned away.
After a gazette notice was put out asking anyone against the directive on the will to present themselves, Ocholla Jacob came out.
Kibaki left his money in all his bank accounts to his 4 children namely; Judy Kibaki, David Kagai, Jimmy Kibaki, and Anthony Githinji.
Since Kibaki's demise, the family is yet to welcome him as their 'big brother' leading him to the Nyeri Family court to file a case aimed to make Kibaki's children give him an equal share of the late President's vast wealth.
This is after allegedly trying the calm conversations with the family to no avail.
