Former Tetu MP James Ndung'u Gethenji has been arrested in Nairobi.
Nation on Friday, October 18, reported that Flying Squad officers arrested Gethenji in what is suspected to be a Ksh 20 billion property row in Kitisuru with his older brother, Gitahi Gethenji.
Joseph Augustine Gathenji, the father to the embittered brothers, was the director of personnel management (DPM) in Kenyatta's government.
He was also a permanent secretary in the Ministry of Labour in retired President Daniel Moi's government.
A video captured by NTV on Tuesday, October 15, showed the two brothers engaged in a bitter exchange.
A visibly angry Gitahi was heard asking what his younger brother was doing at the Kitisuru Estate, with Ndung'u insisting that he owned the property.
The two went on to engage in a bitter exchange of words, with the younger brother - who is a top director of the companies identified as Kihingo Village Limited (Waridi Gardens) and Kihingo Village Management One Limited (KVWGML), insisting that he was the rightful owner, going on to order his brother out of the premises.
On October 9, 2019, the High Court gave Ndung'u the go-ahead to control the contentious Ksh 20 billion estate.
The court ruled in favour of Ndung'u, who claimed that he had taken a Ksh800 million loan to develop the properties in contention.
In the middle of the family feud is Waridi Gardens Estate, a posh estate located in Kitusuru, with 55 housing units on a 37-acre plot, with each unit alleged to be worth Ksh400 million.
