Uhuru’s kin wins back inheritance in long legal tussle

Ngengi Muigai [L] and his wife Catherine welcome their first born as grandfather James N. Muigai [R] looks on May 1978.

A cousin of President Uhuru Kenyatta won back his inheritance after a protracted legal battle that culminated at the Court of Appeal earlier this month.

Peter Mugo, born to Elizabeth Mumbi and Jomo Kenyatta’s brother James Ngengi Muigai, had been left out of his father’s will. Also left out was his brother Peter Nyoike.
