Mama Ida Odinga, the spouse to opposition leader Raila Odinga, has given blow by blow accounts of the genesis of her controversy with Fidel Odinga's widow.
Lwam Bekele, the wife to the late Fidel, had moved to court seeking to be sole administrator of her husband's property, a move that has caused rift.
Despite agreement to make follow-ups together, Ida argues, Lwam went ahead to neglect the family without giving any explanations, court papers reveal.
In court papers seen by the Sunday Nation, Mrs Odinga and her daughter Winnie accuse Ms Lwam of omitting several properties in the inventory of her late husband’s estate.
However, it's not clear why she decided to omit the properties despite the fact that the family is aware of them.
They also accuse Ms Lwam of vacating the matrimonial home she shared with her late husband, who died in 2015, and withdrawing their young child from school, thus denying him he right to education.
“It is not in dispute that Ms Bekele was the legally married wife to the late Fidel (sic)," say Ida and Winnie in their affidavit. "But we are worried that the child Fidel left behind may not be adequately provided for.”
They say the widow deliberately and maliciously provided erroneous, incomplete and non-existent bank account details in an attempt not to be held accountable, and failed to fully declare and give an accurate account of Fidel’s properties.
“The said grant was issued erroneously, as it unjustifiably locked out other interested parties from the estate of the deceased, his other children, his mother and sister respectively.
The proposed administrators cannot be entrusted alone to faithfully administer according to the law the estate of the deceased and render a true and just account of such estate.”
Also at the center of dispute is the alleged twins of Fidel, sired six months after Fidel's death in 2015. The court has however called for DNA test to establish paternity.
Lwam claims that the alleged twins are not registered in Fidel's name. However, she said that she's ready to support the twins should the DNA results prove so.
