Woman claiming to be late Simeon Nyachae's widow denies she had four husbands

In an affidavit filed in connection with a case where the family is fighting for Nyachae's multi-billion empire, Margaret says she got married traditionally to Simeon Nyachae before Leon Nyachae was born and also before Leon's mother, Grace Wamuyu, was known to the late Nyachae.

In the court documents, Margaret has asked Leon to leave the issues to the wives (mothers) saying that it is a battle of wives, not children.

"What the children have done is erase Simeon Nyachae beneficiaries like the entire American-based family and they have sold some of properties," reads court papers.

Leon claims an inquiry commissioned by the family established that Margaret had two husbands, Jacob Machuki Mokaya and Michael Pondo Migowa, who live in Kenya and two others, George Gordon Odera and James Leroy Totten, who live in the US.

Through her lawyers, the woman and her family which is based in the US say that she has never been maried to Mokaya and Migowa.

"That I have never been married to Mr. Michael Pondo nor have I been married to Mr. Jacob Machuki. There has never been any dowry paid to my stepmother Agnes Kerubo/Kemunto," reads court documents.
