- Teresia Wairimu, widow of billionaire Gerishon Kirima, broke her silence after learning his children were allegedly selling disputed Njiru land without her knowledge
- Wairimu revealed she personally fought a lengthy court battle with three lawyers to reclaim the 1,000-acre property after it was grabbed
- The widow urged potential buyers and banks to hold off on any transactions until the family sits down and reaches a formal agreement
Teresia Wairimu, the widow of the late Kenyan billionaire Gerishon Kirima, has gone public with a stark warning to anyone eyeing a piece of the disputed 1,000-acre Njiru land her late husband owned.
Speaking in a sit-down interview aired by NTV Kenya on October 21, 2026, Wairimu said she had no idea her stepchildren were in the process of selling the prime property, and she wants all transactions stopped immediately.
"Those who are buying the land, please do not pay until the family sits down and we understand each other," she said, her frustration evident throughout the interview.
How Wairimu won the land back in Court
Wairimu said the Njiru land had previously been grabbed, and it was she alone who took up the legal fight to reclaim it.

She disclosed that she went to court with three lawyers over what she described as a long and difficult process, eventually securing a ruling in favour of the Kirima estate before Judge Ukongo.
"The judge ruled that the land belongs to Mr Kirima, and we were very grateful," she said, adding that the children were not part of that court struggle. "Even the lawyers have never been paid by these children. The children do not even know how much the case cost."
Widow says she is the rightful decision-maker
Wairimu made it clear that as the surviving wife of Gerishon Kirima, no major decision regarding the property should be made without her involvement.
She said the children had never informed her how many portions they were selling or for how much.
"I am the wife of the late man. I have not been told anything. Any property of the late man must go through me," she said firmly.
Her warning extended to financial institutions as well. She specifically cautioned banks against approving loans using the Njiru land as collateral until the family resolves its internal differences.
"Even if they are planning to go to the bank and take a loan, my children should not be allowed. The title should not be given to them because the land belongs to the late man, not the children," she said.
Wairimu stressed that whoever goes ahead and pays for the land does so at their own risk, warning that they would lose their money.
