Kisumu governor Anyang' Nyong'o has been sued by his Nephews over a property dispute, however, the county boss described his nephews as opportunists.
“The application by my nephews is calculated to embarrass and extort me now that I am the elected governor of Kisumu County,” he argued.
The nephews claim that Nyongo and his sister Risper Nyagoy left out some of them on the list of beneficiaries to their grandfather's multimillion shilling estate.
Nyong’o said he helped his nephews Geoffrey Omondi Nyong’o and Kenneth Odhiambo Okuthe by securing them and other relatives jobs in public service offices when he served as a minister in the Narc government as well as the Grand Coalition, further terming the nephews as ungrateful.
“The application is incompetent, bad in law, frivolous, vexatious intended to paint our family in bad light and bring it into disrepute,” said Nyong’o.
“I believe that having taken parental responsibility of the applicants and adopted them as my own children, they cannot claim from the estate of our father neither can they inherit from me when I am still alive,” he added.
