How Mission In Action Baby Orphanage Became a Crime Scene

We have gathered disturbing details and evidence that expose the internal corruption among some key officials at the Mission In Action Baby Orphanage, showing that the orphanage no longer fulfills its primary role.

According to insiders, greed and immorality among the purported officials are the main reasons why the orphanage is gradually collapsing.

We spoke to Mr. Dickens Otieno, alias Madollar Mapesa, who revealed that a lot of corruption has been witnessed at the orphanage.

When contacted by phone for a comment, the parties involved failed to respond to our queries.

“This institution is used for personal gain by greedy individuals like Mrs. Damaris Rigiri, Mr. Cyrus Kivuti, and Sandy Stirges, who for a long time have continued to pose as directors since the passing of Ivan Budulica, the founder. She was an Australian national,” said Otieno.

He added, “The alleged maid turned wife (Damaris Rigiri) to the late Director (Ivan Budulica), and since he ‘married’ Damaris Rigiri, they have never gotten any successful child from the institution. All they do is use innocent children to aid during their fundraisers and thereafter kick them out with no better plans just because they are 18 years old,” Madollar added.

He told our team that such kids find themselves on the streets suffering and, in most cases, end up joining organized criminal gangs.

“Most of these young adults find themselves on the streets with no plan and end up getting involved in strange activities. For instance, young girls from the institution, in most cases, find themselves with unwanted pregnancies where different men take advantage of them because of their desperation for shelter, food, and a sense of belonging, as many of them have no families to receive them,” he added.

Additionally, Otieno said that other kids, especially boys, become beach boys while others get involved in various activities such as theft, drugs, and underpaid manual duties for their survival.

He narrated to us, step by step, how this fraudulent scheme is undertaken.

He said that Damaris Rigiri, Cyrus Kivuti, Sandy Stirges, and Jerry Stirges have chosen to benefit themselves rather than take good care of the orphanage.

It was also revealed that Mrs. Damaris Rigiri’s brother, Angelo, an ex-convict and alleged drug addict, has been denying young girls in the facility their privacy by peeping on them during their shower time, despite endless reports and complaints to his sister.

“We learned that the institution, which is supposed to benefit the community, has no individual as a beneficiary to inherit or own the institution despite the ongoing court case,” Otieno stated.

For instance, the ongoing civil case on who should be the right persons to run the institution is still pending.

The case has been filed at the Nakuru High Court by one Mary Summer-Scales, an Australian national formerly known as Mary Budulica, a former wife to Ivan Budulica with whom they had three children and lived together for over 30 years.

It is allegedly believed that the fraudulent controversial behaviors on land transfer were done by Damaris Rigiri with the help of Cyrus Kivuti.

According to Mr. Dickens Otieno, the whole process was a fraud.

“Damaris Rigiri and Cyrus Kivuti, upon realizing the risk of losing everything and facing prison, decided to forge a will stating that Ivan Budulica wrote it before his demise, distributing properties to each one of them with Cyrus being the witness. We found out that Cyrus was just an errand boy, so how was he becoming a witness on Ivan Budulica’s will of all people?” he said.

He added, “Don’t forget the institution belongs to nobody. Even Ivan himself does not own it, although they claim that he wrote the will,” he said.

The problems allegedly escalated after the orphanage director died.

“When I realized that the children were at risk, I came to their rescue by mobilizing the youth of Nakuru, and a big demonstration was held in various government offices and courts against Damaris Rigiri and Cyrus Kivuti, who had already inherited their lands and usually access funds fraudulently,” he said.

There are reports that both Cyrus Kivuti and Damaris Rigiri were engaged in an affair, he said.
