Ondiek (not his real name), a father of two daughters, was heartbroken when his wife died in 2017 after a long illness. To add to his troubles, his children abandoned him and as he says, "they cut all communication with me".

The reason behind his children's actions, he says, was that they had been incited by their aunts and uncles to turn on him because of the family's properties.

Ondiek, a Nakuru resident, had accumulated wealth with his wife since their marriage in 1991. The couple had properties, shops, rentals and residential homes, as well as land.
