Three widows and a son of former Nakuru nominated MP Philip Kamau risk being committed to a civil jail should the court find them guilty of disobeying its orders.

Kamau's daughter Elizabeth Wanjiku wants her brother Joseph Njuguna and her step-mothers Teresia Njeri, Margaret Damat and Lucy Wanjiru to be committed to civil jail for six months.

On September 29, 2023, the court appointed Kamau's widows and his son as joint administrators of his estate estimated to be worth Sh1 billion.
