Mburu, a businessman with interests in logistics, is a close associate of Deputy President William Ruto. Perhaps they share the same ideology of grass to grace as they are both hustlers. Mburu’s parents were charcoal burners in Solai.

Mburu divorced his first wife and mother of his two children in 2013. The court awarded the wife a Ksh 597,000 monthly maintenance allowance including 140,000 for food. The couple was allowed joint custody of the kid.
However, Beatrice Wanjiku filed another affidavit in April 2016 blocking Mburu from taking full custody of the children. She said she couldn’t allow Susan Kihika near her children because she hates them.
