The Court of Appeal has blocked two children born out of wedlock from inheriting their late step-father’s estate. The judges affirmed a High Court ruling of August 2, 2017, that excluded the two children from their father’s estate. According to the court, the children did not claim dependency nor file their own affidavits to prove their dependency. “The court erred when it only gave us the property in Thika, leaving ones in Kajiado to Wanjiru,” she claimed. Wanjiru added that some properties in Kajiado were acquired before Mburu married Wambui Mburu died on November 28, 2003.
