Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru is fighting to hold onto her lavish home in the upmarket Kihingo estate in Kitisuru, Nairobi.

Waiguru has sued the developer, Kihingo Village (Waridi Gardens), to stop her eviction for alleged non-payment of Sh266 million rents since 2015.
Lawyer Chris Kabiro had made a court application under certificate of urgency claiming that House No 1 in Kihingo Village belongs to him and not Waiguru.
In court documents, Kabiro claims that in 2013 the Court issued an injunction restraining Kihingo from selling the property.
In 2020, Justice Elijah Obaga issued temporary orders stopping Kihingo Village from evicting Waiguru and directed the parties to settle the dispute through an out-of-court agreement.
The governors' ownership of the house has been thrown into doubt by the ongoing legal battles between former Tetu MP Ndungu Gethenji, 54 residents of Kihingo Village, and his brothers Bob and Gitahi.
The Gethenji family i.e. Ndungu, Bob, Gitahi, and their late mother Hilda, all have equal shares in Kihingo Village (Waridi Gardens) Limited.
In a statement of defense, KVWG, the developer, claimed that Ndungu Gethenji solely made a deal with Waiguru in 2015 that substantially undervalued the house. “The plaintiff (Waiguru) was transacting with one Ndungu Gethenji who was acting ultra vires”, the defense states.
