Most people only know two of billionaire Chris Kirubi’s children, Robert Kirubi and daughter Mary-Anne Kirubi.
However, during his funeral, another daughter showed up and introduced herself.
“When I was a child, I was terribly subconscious of our shared Kirubi permanent forehead and wide smile and I would try to hide his traits,” she said during the funeral in June 2021 as her half-siblings stood by her side.
“However, as I grew older, I have come to embrace our unique physical traits which connect us and I am more proud of my forehead and a big smile, and who would who have thought I’d marry an amazing dentist,” Fiona said.
She continued, “I wish he would have met the new addition to the family, my 7-month-old son Mufasa who would carry the name Kirubi. I promise to tell him all about his Guka when he grows up. I grew up with my mum and I learned that the words and encouragement that my dad had trouble expressing came out through his successes and achievements.”

Fiona was mentioned in Kirubi’s 1996 will where Robert Kirubi and daughter Mary-Anne Kirubi were bequeathed 80 percent of the estate while Fiona got Ksh4 million.
However, Robert and Mary-Anne amicably agreed to give Fiona 9.95 percent of the estate which they split equally from their shares.
“We shall be grateful if you would record the following consent in the above matter. That an order be recorded that Fiona Wambui Kirubi shall receive 9.95 percent of the share of Robert Kirubi’s and Mary-Anne’s Kirubi’s portion of the estate being 80 percent of the entire estate,” the consent reads in part.
That means she will receive about Ksh1.6 billion from her siblings.
