When sibling rivalry grows into nasty envy in adulthood

It’s a pity that the relationship between some blood brothers and sisters can only be described as ‘rivalrous’ or ‘distant’ reminiscent of bibilical Cain and Abel Photo: Courtesy

There is a strange going case going on at the Court of Appeal. Esther Mburu and her sister Ann Muthee from Thika have sued their three brothers over a share of their deceased father’s property.

Rivalry between the five children is reported to be so intense that the two women have dragged Daniel Njenga, Moses Wainaina and Joseph Mwaniki to court over, among others, a 300-acre farm, a 100-acre quarry and several commercial buildings in Thika Town.
