Published on October 14, 2019, a bitter property dispute has erupted between Ida Odinga, wife of ODM leader Raila Odinga, and her daughter-in-law Lwam Bekele, the widow of Fidel Odinga, over the late politician's estate.

At the center of the dispute is a multi-million shilling estate left behind by Fidel, which includes a Karen residence, three parcels of land, two Range Rovers, a Nissan Sunny, a Mercedes Benz, and seven bank accounts.

Ida and her daughter Rosemary have moved to court to challenge Bekele's application, arguing that her move left out other parties interested in Fidel's estate.

Ida claims that Fidel had another lover, who he sired twins with, and wants the twins to be listed as dependants on late Fidel's property.

Bekele, who only had one child with the deceased, has rubbished Ida's claims, terming them as false.

The case will be mentioned on Wednesday, October 16.
