@2012 uko nyuma kama matak0 ya sidika. Ida is such an evil mother in law. Why disnherit the poor young widow. Ama she refused to be inherited by Raila jnr and keep the millions in the family? https://www.the-star.co....erty-with-fidels-widow/
Quote:In the court papers, Ida and Winnie give several reasons the widow should not be allowed to be the administrator of Fidel’s estate.
For the first time, Ida said Fidel had twins with a different woman – a girl and a boy – who are legally also his dependents.
The said woman is named in the court battle as Phoebe Akinyi Ogweno.
“The petitioner has deliberately failed to include and provide or otherwise show the intention of providing for the said minors hence a red flag on her intentions,” Ida said.
However, Bekelle through her lawyers termed her mother-in-law's assertions as a concoction of facts given that the said twins were born six months after Fidel's death.
“In the birth certificates attached to the affidavit in support of the cross-petition, there is no indication of the father of the said minors. The said birth certificates do not thus prove paternity of the minors,” Bekelle said.
She rubbishes Ida’s arguments that Fidel supported the twins yet they had not been born at the time of his death.
Bekelle blasts Ida for contradicting herself by claiming Fidel had other kids yet in the same document, she acknowledges that it is only her son that Fidel had sired during his lifetime.
The widow also claims the Odinga family is not supporting her son and disputes claims he has dropped from school.
The dispute also revealed the multi-billion empire left behind by Raila’s firstborn who died at 41.
Ida and Winnie listed 10 properties and seven bank accounts that they say belonged to Fidel.
The properties include Fidel’s home at Tipuana Park, house number six in Karen, three parcels of land; two in Kisumu and one in Kajiado, 250 shares each in both Axum Investments Limited and Ambesa Investments Limited.
Others are two Range Rovers, KBS 027Y and KCA 026V, a Nissan Sunny KBR 301F and a Mercedes Benz KBG 595B.
Ida and Winnie also listed three accounts at Gulf Bank – two for Kenya shillings and one for US dollars, another one at Diamond Trust Bank, Capital Centre Branch, Standard Charted Bank, Kenyatta Avenue, Stanbic Bank, Chiromo Branch where he ran a credit card.
A seventh account was held at ABC Bank, Industrial Area branch.
However, according to Bekelle, the KBY Range Rover now belongs to one Hossein, Fidel’s business partner who claims the car was sold to him.
The second Range Rover KCA, she says, is registered under a Yunis Muhammed and was purchased by trading off another vehicle.
She claims she personally paid for the balance after Fidel’s death.
Bekelle says the account at Gulf Bank was jointly operated between her and Fidel and has since been closed.
She denies knowledge of the accounts at DTB, ABC and Stanbic.
Bekelle also claims that the Karen home was held under a joint tenancy with herself and Fidel.
“Upon the deceased’s demise, the property automatically reverted to my ownership. It, therefore, does not form part of the deceased’s estate,” Bekelle argues.
