Former Foreign Affairs Minister Robert Ouko's name joined the list of other high profile politicians who underwent controversial deaths, when his dead body was found in Got Alila, near Koru, in Kisumu on February 13, 1990.
Married to Christabel Ouko, the relatively rich leader in a will dated May, 20, 1983, bestowed all his wealth to his wife on a condition that she passes them down to their seven children should she re-marry.
"I give all my property not otherwise disposed off by this will after payment of my funeral and testament expenses and debts to my wife Christabel Ouko for her life or until she remarries,” the will read in part as was reported in a Standard publication dated May 7, 2018.
Cristabel died in a road accident last year.
The property included investments in the banking sector and several pieces of land in Kisumu. He also left behind another piece of land in Loresho, Mombasa.
Ouko had a lot of property in Kisumu, 200 shares at the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and others in the Kisumu Cotton Mills, the Hill Side Inn and a company called the KGGCU.
Estimated to be worth Sh10.2 million at the time of his death, the Kisumu lawmaker also left behind 296 shares in the Shoe Den Limited and 294, 000 others in Orinde Distributors.
Three of his vehicles were sold off and the remaining one left to his wife, who was ordered that his estate's proceeds be invested into his children and grandchildren's education.
His guitar went to his daughter Carol Akinyi with his sons Kenneth Omondi, Andrew Ouko and Charles Ochieng sharing his books.
Cristabel never remarried for 27 years until she met her death in August last year and spent the remainder of her life taking care of the property and the family.
