Late Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua's son has come out to refute allegations that he has been disinherited of his father’s properties.

He was responding to a post by Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai who had asked about his whereabouts.

“Where is Ken Nderitu? He is over 35 years old now. He asked Rigathi to teach him how to run a family business but he is nowhere to support his case,” Alai said.

Ken Nderitu said his uncle, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has taught him about business, and that the estate of his late father has been handled in the way his dad would have been satisfied.
