some women can be evil to unimaginable proportions. She didnt have to go to court, the MP even got her job as an MCA from a mere sonko rescue street worker.

she went to court only because Okoth was an MP and there is a 30m life insurance paysum from PSC. After money!

If they perceive you have money they will chase you even when you die, if you are broke, or appear broke, they run away from you and say how filth you are.

Ken Okoth was always an ambitious young man.

From his roots in Kibra, he dreamt big, studied hard and attended some of the best schools locally and top-league universities abroad.

And then, in 2013, a fire lit up in his belly. He wanted to be the Member of Parliament for Kibra, which he had served in various ways as a community mobiliser.

At around the same time, a young woman named Anne Muthoni Thumbi was taking her nursing steps at Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi.

She was in her early 20s when she first met the towering Okoth at the hospital.

Ken, then a bubbly 33-year-old man, was instantly smitten. He approached Anne and asked her out. She agreed, attracted by his lanky physique, dark skin tone and raucous laugh.

“He was a good man,” she said on Thursday in the first interview since the saga surrounding the paternity of a child she claims she bore with the MP broke. “So loving and always positive about life.”

The two started meeting often, and the fire in the soon-to-be Kibra MP burnt bright.

As the political campaigns heated up, Ken asked Anne to lead his team. Every morning the two would meet in Kibra to strategise, then spend the day knocking on doors and addressing small barazas (meetings).

Friends who worked with them described the two as more of lovebirds than political strategists.

BABY BOY

Even as they campaigned in the trenches of Kibra, they dreamt of a life together, drawn to each other by the shared ambition during the day and the powerful tom-toms of their hearts later on in the evening.

Ken won the seat in March 2013, but the victory was not enough for him, and so he used his political connections to have Anne nominated as a member of the Nairobi County Assembly.

From then on, the love affair between the two politicians blossomed, says Anne.

Two years later, in 2015, the couple was blessed with a baby boy. Anne said Ken immediately assumed the fatherly role and “was always there” for them. They named the little boy Jayden Baraka Okoth.

“Ken was elated,” said Robert Sidhe, a friend of the couple.

Soon afterwards, Ken visited Anne’s parents in Nyeri, where he introduced himself as Anne’s partner.

RESPONSIBLE DAD

Photos shared on social media also show Jayden meeting with Ken’s mother, Ms Angeline Ajwang.

Ken, who died last Friday after battling colorectal cancer for two years, appears to have had a premonition that he would be no more in a few days.

LAWSUIT

From his hospital bed in Paris, even as he prepared to come back to Kenya for his last days, he sent Anne a text message, urging her to “take care of our son”.

It is that message, along with the years the two spent together, that forced Anne to come out of the woodwork this week and claim a place in Ken’s burial arrangements.

But, Ken’s family would hear none of it, and so on Thursday she went to court seeking to have the burial stopped until the controversy surrounding Jayden’s paternity is resolved.

She sued Ken’s mother, Angeline, his widow Monica, and the Lee Funeral Home as the first, second and third defendants, respectively.

The court barred the parties from either burying or cremating Ken’s remains until the matter is resolved. The hearing of the case is scheduled for August 9.

You women are your worst enemies. A man wooes a woman, marries her and takes her to his mother, even visits his new in laws in Nyeri "to pay something". They start a family and everyone is happy including mother in law from nyalgunga. Then after husband dies, the mans family and 1st wife try to delete family 2 from history? What did you people want her to do? You wanted her to accept the turn of events, especially the evil scheming of that shosho and move on?

Also for those saying that the kid was provided for in the will, you cant take care of the kid and leave out the mother. Okoth Jnr is not a test tube baby. She is a kid who is the product of two loving parents. And because his dad is no more, the mum must be facilitated to ensure she raises the kid the way the dad would have wanted. Also since the woman has also lost her husband, she must also be taken care of as a widow by the late hubby's estate and pension.

Choices have consequences. You start family 2 then you should be ready kubeba mzigo even when you are gone.

I wonder if we would be having any controversy if the lady she was Ann Achieng Owimo Nyaugenya. Everyone would be justifying that a luo man is naturally polygamous and even if he married in Europe, he must also marry a local girl and must also have a heir. But watu wakisikia ni Muthoni from Nyeri they loose their minds.

That said the only person who should be complaining about "boma ya pili" should be Monica, not mbloggers.
