Co-wives threatened Margaret Chweya, who claims to be married to the late Cabinet Minister Simeon Nyachae, after discovering her marriage and entitlements to his vast estate. Both Chweya and Charles Nyachae, the late minister’s son, have filed submissions in court regarding the inheritance dispute.

• Margaret Chweya bases her claim on Gusii customary law and seeks an equal share of the estate for herself and her children under Sections 26 and 29 of the Law of Succession Act.
• The Nyachae family disputes Chweya's claims, stating her application is legally flawed and that a child, Patricia Chweya, admitted forgery regarding her paternity.
• The court will determine if Margaret Chweya and her children are legitimate dependents entitled to a portion of the minister's estate.
