Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Two children have filed a suit against their billionaire grandfather Samwel Mburu, the owner of Jade Collections, over his Ksh7 billion empire.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Business Daily on Thursday, June 3, Kevin Wakaimba and Ivan Wakaimba, want their grandfather to include them in the distribution of his wealth.<\/p>\n

In their court papers, the two argue that they still have school fees to clear and want to receive a share of Mburu’s expansive wealth.<\/p>\n

Kevin revealed that he was forced to drop out of a film course he was pursuing in a university in South Africa due to school fees challenges.<\/p>\n

Ivan, on the other hand, disclosed that he was dismissed from an aviation school in Malindi due to failure of settling his school fees.<\/p>\n

The two further claimed that the family has segregated them after the aftermath of their father’s passing 31 years ago when he was involved in and accident.<\/p>\n

They also claimed that they were evicted from their father’s 100-acre flower farm that is worth millions.<\/p>\n

Mburu has sprawling wealth that include the expansive clothing store Jade collections that has branches in Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Eldoret.<\/p>\n

His other wealth include business premises, rental apartments and acres of land found in Rift Valley as well as major towns such as Nairobi and Eldoret.<\/p>\n

The tussle has expounded on Kenyan wealthy families that are often thrown into a legal battle over the distribution of their wealth, in most cases after the proprietors pass away.<\/p>\n

Some of the families that have been left include those of Njenga Karume, John Michuki and Gerishon Kirima.<\/p>\n

For Karume, the wrangle hit the headlines after one of his granddaughters died as she couldn’t afford medical fees when she desperately needed it.<\/p>\n

In Kirima’s case, the tycoon died while his family fought over his vast financial empire.<\/p>\n

Kirima’s financial empire is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of shillings, and remains subject of the protracted family feud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
