Their mother, Mary Auma Oliech, caused drama in a Nairobi Court
on Wednesday afternoon after she confronted the lawyer representing her
children Ken and Elsie accusing him of trying to damage their family
reputation.
However, the family’s representative Nixon Oliech has sought to
set the record straight claiming that the property in contention is in their
mother’s name hence she is entitled to sell it if she so wishes.
“Still, our brother Dennis Oliech, who purchased this land
for our mother, has categorically stated that our parent can do as she desires
with the property.”
“As a family, we question the motive of the lawyer who is
representing Ken and Elsie, as it seems he intends to damage the image and
reputation of the family and make money out of this family affair.”
“During a family meeting held two months ago, our mother
Mary Auma Oliech indicated her desire to sell off some of her property in
Nairobi including a plot located in Dagoretti, area with a view to resettling
upcountry.
“The family was divided in opinion and we resolved to discuss
the issue further during an upcoming meeting.”
“However, a section of the family members were shocked to later learn that two of our family members namely Ken Oliech and Elsie Achieng ganged up and decided to oppose this matter in court despite the fact that it is a domestic issue that can be settled amicably.” the statement read.
