Professor David Musyimi Ndetei is a highly distinguished Kenyan medical pioneer, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Nairobi, and the Founding Director of the Africa Institute of Mental and Brain Health. Renowned as one of Africa's leading authorities on mental health, he has dedicated his career to expanding affordable psychiatric care and spearheading psychiatric research across the continent.
He earned his MBChB from the University of Nairobi (1975), followed by specialized psychiatric credentials in London, a PhD, and a prestigious Doctor of Science (DSc) degree.
Rose Mbithe Mulwa (formerly Rose Mbithe Ndetei) is a Kenyan businesswoman, politician, and the ex-wife of David Ndetei. Born and raised in iveti, Machakos County, she has maintained a public profile spanning across business, philanthropy, and ran for the Governor of Machakos County in the 2022 general elections, losing the seat to Wavinya Ndeti.
Rose Mbithe Mulwa and Professor David Musyimi Ndetei were officially divorced in 2001, bringing an end to their 31-year marriage. Prof. David Ndetei's 31-year marriage to his first wife, Rose Mbithe Mulwa, officially ended in a bitter divorce. A subsequent official gazette notice confirming her name change was published in May 2003.
Following the dissolution of that first marriage, Prof. Ndetei subsequently married Dr. Victoria Mutiso following the finalization of the divorce. Court submissions from recent legal proceedings confirm the union occurred more than two decades ago. They shared two children together. Dr. Mutiso, a prominent clinical psychologist and mental health researcher, was fatally shot on July 29, 2026, in Upper Hill, Nairobi.
Following the 2001 divorce, in 2002, Rose Mulwa filed a landmark case under the Married Women's Property Act of 1882 to claim a share of Prof. Ndetei's multi-million shilling estate under High Court Civil Case (HCCC) No. 6A of 2002. She ultimately lost the main matrimonial distribution suit, with courts ruling against her claims for a direct split of the properties. While she lost the main suit, the loss triggered a 24-year cycle of bitter civil side-battles, appeals, and property disputes.
The cornerstone of this decades-long conflict is a prime, highly valuable parcel of land legally registered as L.R. No. 1504/13. The property is a prime tract measuring over 20 acres (often referenced as 25 acres in various legal filings) situated in the North West of the Athi River Township / Mlolongo zone within Machakos District. Because of its proximity to the Mombasa Highway and Nairobi, its commercial value skyrocketed into billions of shillings over the last two decades.
During their marriage, the land was a core family asset. Following the split, Prof. Ndetei retained the title and launched agricultural and residential projects on the property. The land also became the subject of separate, highly publicized multi-million shilling litigations:
In the early 2000s, Prof. Ndetei successfully sued a neighboring factory, Orbit Chemical Industries, claiming their factory's storm water and chemical discharge ruined the agricultural usability of this specific Athi River parcel. He was eventually awarded over Ksh 269 million in damages.
The land was also entangled in commercial financing legal disputes with institutions like Daima Bank and Housing Finance Company of Kenya regarding charges registered against the title deed.
During the highly contentious 2001 divorce and the subsequent 2002 matrimonial property division lawsuit, the late lawyer, Mathew Kyalo Mbobu served as the primary legal counsel representing Professor David Ndetei.
