There is a court battle over a wealth estimated to be about Sh50 million left by the former Gem Member of Parliament, Jakoyo Midiwo.

Midiwo, who was the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s first cousin, died without a Will. The row has ended up in the long list of prominent Kenyans whose families are in the corridors of justice, warring over who is to get what.
