It’s barely three years after Kenyans mourned the passing
away of Makueni Senator, Mutula Kilonzo than a family feud has erupted between
Mutula’s widow, Nduku Kilonzo, and her stepson, Mutula Kilonzo Junior.
In an stinging email to his stepmother titled “Cruelty to
Animals”, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, who succeeded his father as the Makueni Senator,
accused Nduku Kilonzo of neglecting the lions his father had kept at his vast
Kwa Kyelu Ranch, along Mombasa Road.
“Mama Muathi, face the facts. There is no reason on earth
and in heaven to treat these animals like this. The estate has livestock in
Nakuru too. You have failed. Period! Your husband would beg to die again if he
was to wake up from his grave to see this,” Mutula Junior wrote.
“These pictures were taken just recently. One of the
starving lions is named after you. You don’t feed us, clothe us or do anything
for the children of your late husband. What is so difficult with (sic) managing
five animals?” Junior added.
