Nairobi, Feb. 16 -- Bakari Kisalu Malanda, a Tanzanian man, says that he is an adopted son of former Pepsi director William Mutilangi Mulwa, whose multimillion-shilling estate he is laying claim to.

A chief magistrate's court in Nairobi released him on cash bail in a case where he has been charged with meddling with a deceased person's property. Senior Principal Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe granted him cash bail of Sh100,000 with an alternative of a Sh200,000 bond and one surety of a similar amount.

His lawyer, Bryan Khaemba, alleged that the 35-year-old Tanzanian national was adopted by Mulwa five years ago, and that he has documents confirming the claim.
