This comes after the late Elijah Wanameme was recently honoured by HE Dr.William Ruto-President, as a Kenyan hero who contributed much towards achieving the independence.
Speaking to a local radio station,the three Wanameme's surviving wives led by Elizabeth Nakhumicha, among six,say since the death of the warrior,the family has been unstable in their endeavours including raising up of children despite the name of Wanameme having been spread all over.
"We have cried a lot on matters in Elijah's family since our young age to date we have been always asking help from the government because he fought for Africans most of the time he was being jailed because of colonial resistance that's why the family remained unstable", a cry from one of Elijah's wife Gladys Masinde.
