Case Update: Woman Seeks Sh200,000 Child Support From Senator Olekina
The woman claims the politician is the biological father of her child, but has ignored his parental responsibilities.
A case in which a woman has sued Narok Senator Ledama Olekina, demanding Sh200,000 for child upkeep, is set for hearing this morning.
Justice Eric Ogola will today hear the various applications made by both the applicant and the senator.
The woman claims the politician is the biological father of her child, but has ignored his parental responsibilities.
According to court papers, the woman says she had a brief romantic relationship with Senator Olekina between September 2019 and July 2020.
She wants the court to order the lawmaker to pay the child’s school fees, related expenses and also include the minor in his medical cover.
In affidavits filed at the Children’s Court, the woman claims the senator ended their relationship and cut off communication after he was informed of the pregnancy.
However, in a previous court submission, Ole Kina stated that he does not know the child.
“I do not know the child. It is not true that I had any relations with the woman,” Ledama stated.
In a one-page short response, Ledama further asked the court to order a DNA test on the minor.
He said the woman had indicated that she did not object to a DNA test.
Elsewhere at the magistrate court, a direction will today be issued in a case in which seven people are accused of violently robbing two women on the same night they allegedly murdered former Kabete MP George Muchai.
In the High Court, the accused persons are facing a separate charge of killing Muchai, his two bodyguards, Samuel Kailikia and Samuel Matanta, and his driver, Stephen Wambugu, on February 7, 2015, on Kenyatta Avenue, in Nairobi.
Before a magistrate’s court, they are facing multiple charges of robbery with violence, in which two sisters, Gladys Waithera and Irene Muthoni, are complainants.
The matter is before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina.
Waithera and Muthoni were allegedly carjacked before the former MP was killed.
Eric Isabwa, Raphael Kimani, Mustapha Kimani, Stephen Astiva, Jane Wanjiru, Margaret Njeri and Simon Wambugu have denied the 10 counts of robbery with violence charges involving six other victims.
The court found the suspects with a case to answer, and they have since testified in their defence.
Today, the parties will set a date for final submissions before a judgment is delivered.
