Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has been accused of plotting to edge out the family of former Vice President Kijana Wamalwa from their inheritance.
Two of the late Kijana Wamalwa’s children, Michelle Wamalwa and Duke Mboya, who he raised with the late Yvonne Wamalwa, have claimed that the CS is teaming up with other relatives to lock them out.
“As soon as dad passed away, it was basically downhill from there. Because [sic] dad was not there anymore, they pounced on us and tried to take advantage of us, ” Michelle told Citizen TV.
His daughter, who has now missed school over a year due to the wrangles, stated that it was painful living in their home as relatives were constantly trying to take it over from them.
Wamalwa’s son wondered why people keep advising them to seek help from their uncle, the CS, not knowing that he was the source of their troubles.
“If he was helping me honestly would I be here,?” Duke posed.
During their mother’s memorial in 2017, Deputy President William Ruto had promised that he would fund the children’s study in Australia.
“In regards to Yvonne’s kids, the Government has promised to take care of their education, we were told that some of them are in school and we decided to provide an easier war for them to study.
“We have also agreed to give Yvonne’s sister a job so that she stays there as she takes care of the children,” he stated.
According to their recent cry for justice, the promises appear not to have been fulfilled.
