The two obituaries also featured two completely different images of the same man; in the eulogy by Prisca’s family, the late Kithyo wore a hat on top of what appears to be a bandana.
The photo appears to be from when he was much younger.
In the second eulogy, the image is more recent and depicts a much older Kithyo, this time dressed in a shirt and cowboy hat.
Kata Matemu Kithyo, a distinguished engineer and brother of former EACC chairperson Mumo Matemu, died from illness on April 18, 2024, in Mewapa, Mombasa.
According to two eulogies published in the Daily Nation, he leaves a legacy of family and love, and he is survived by children and grandchildren from both unions.
It is now emerging that the deceased engineer’s family is rocked in a dispute over his wealth even before he is buried.
Njeru’s post highlights a contentious struggle unfolding behind the scenes, with Kithyo’s wealth and estate seemingly at the heart of the conflict.
Njeru claims that the situation has escalated to the point where Kithyo’s children have reportedly been evicted from his properties, and his brothers’ children have assumed control of his businesses.
