Ghafla Exclusive: Trouble Already Brewing In The Late Salim Juniors’ Forte Over Money Contributed After His Death. The Immediate Family Accused of Dividing Money among Themselves and Kicking His Wives and 3 Daughters Out In the Cold

5 months since the death of Mugithi Maestro Salim Junior, a fight has emerged in the family.

The row allegedly pits Salim’s siblings (Sarafina Salim and Mighty Salim) and father Joe Salim against his three wives Mama Tasha, Nelly, and the youngest Judy.

Salim died leaving behind 3 daughters all from different mothers Tasha, Tracey and Winskate. After the funeral ,Salim’s father called for a meeting to distribute cash that had been raised during the funeral including some money given by the president through Kameme FM presenter Njogu wa Njoroge. The meeting was attended by the funeral committee (which comprised of Salim’s siblings and two other artistes) and the three wives.

And that is when things started going left.

A source close to Judy claims that after the burial, the committee met to distribute the money to the children’s mothers but this was met with sharp resistance from the family who vowed that the money could only be released to them.

The source went to further divulge that efforts by the committee to reach an amicable solution were unsuccessful as Mighty Salim and his father allegedly refused to attend any more meetings as long as the decision was to give the money to anyone else other than them.

Judy was then kicked out of their matrimonial home and she threatened to sue the family and true to her word, a letter from a lawyer was sent to the committee.

The letter was from Gathii Irungu associates and advocates which stated that Judy that  was only legitimate wife to Salim and she should receive a share of the money which amounted to 900,000. Her reasons were that Salim did not leave behind any inheritance and their household goods were taken away by his relatives so she was unable to fend for Winskate.

We got a copy of the letter and here is part of it:

 

 

This was after the family had allegedly met for yet another burial and that’s when Sarafina offered to take Judy’s child Winskate back to her place before schools opened.

One Sunday, a few weeks before schools opened, Judy came for Winskate and said she would bring her back in the evening. She didn’t and went radio silent for two weeks; refusing to pick up calls and the only communication they got was the lawyer’s letter.

Sarafina then went on to add that before Salim passed away, Judy and Salim had split up momentarily in August 2015.The reason for this split was that after Salim was admitted in hospital for the first time, some auctioneers came to sell off their items as she had allegedly taken a loan and had used their property to do so. A loan which she defaulted. The auctioneers were then advised to come after Salim had left hospital and they did and Salim’s stuff was auctioned off. This was despite the 70k she allegedly had also taken from Salim’s phone when he was unwell.

Salim was so angry and allegedly chased Judy away but they reunited monetarily in January this year as Salim wanted to see his daughter and she stayed at his place for a while before his tragic death.

Something which one of Salim’s other wife who requested anonymity agreed. That Salim and Judy had indeed split up momentarily. The wife also said that Judy had sent the said letter after Salim’s family went silent and rumors started flying around that Salim’s dad was finishing a house that Salim had started building. That is what triggered Judy to put that injunction, preventing the money from being distributed.

The wife then went on to add that she is okay if she doesn’t get the money as she can afford to take care of her child something she has been doing entirely on her own for the last 3 years.

The other wife also agreed that she had also not gotten the money and no communication was forthcoming from the family since that little meeting they had after the burial.

We are still trying to contact Judy for more details on the story so keep it Ghafla.
