Apart from comparing the noses and the ears and probably the eyes, there is a likely scenario here and that would be the beginning of problems for the malaya mother....
the elder kid is Magutu...
the second eldest is Mbirithi...
the youngest is Witima...
After the kids learn of the court case, how would the mother explain that actually their father was not Munywoki...
The kids: "Now that you have stated categorically that Munywoki is not our father, who is our father?"
The mother, wiping some small beads of cold, thin sweat forming on her forehead and nose: "You Magutu, your father is Manyeki"
Mbirithi: "And who is my father mother!!!
Mother: "Mbirithi, your father is Kanylon"
Witima: "And me???!!!"
Mother: "And yours is Thangari"
Magutu (talking in whispers to mbirithi and Witima): Ma ya Ngai uyu mutumia ni mami no ni ikoro ria njiraini"
I wonder what the children's reaction would be if they learnt that their father of so many years is not their father after all and their mother has constantly lied to them for all that time.
Would these children really forgive her for those lies????
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
