The Koinange family is split over a petition filed last month by one of the administrators of the estate seeking to evict the upmarket Village Market mall and Tribe Hotel over claims the land on which the property stands belongs to them.
Isabella Wanjiku, a daughter of the former provincial commissioner Charles Karuga Koinange, says although they have a dispute with Greenhills Investment, which owns the mall, the case was filed without consultation or knowledge of co-administrators.
