Why I'm Suing The Kenyan Government: Kenyans Think It's Funny A Woman Married 22-Years Was Angry Her Husband Took A Second Wife Without Her Knowledge

Saturday, 5 August 2023

Why I'm suing the Kenyan government. I was reading the news and a woman who was married to a man for 22-years, stormed a church where her husband was set to marry another woman. They are still married, in Kenya a so-called Christian country, a man can marry as many women as he wants. Polygamy is legalized but not only that, since 2020 what I call 'Forced Polygamy' is now the law of the land.

Forced many women have no choice, it once required the signature of the first wife, in order for a Kenyan man to take on other wives. The first wife needed to give him legal permission.

Uhuru Kenyatta the former president of Kenya changed that law, I was already married prior to the law being changed. I have been wanting to sue the Kenyan government for years. My husband always claimed that he was not married to anyone.

Woman Storms Wedding to Stop Husband From Marrying House Help

A church wedding turned chaotic in Molo, Nakuru County, on Saturday, August 5, when a woman stormed the ceremony, claiming to be the groom's first wife.

The woman, identified as RO, felt betrayed by the groom's actions and sought to know why her husband proceeded to marry their house help without her consent.

She added that she was aggrieved by the groom's decision to abandon her after 22 years of marriage.

Irate at the turn of events, she wondered how she was unable to suspect a marital relationship between her husband and the house help.

"We have stayed together for 22 years. She came looking for work, and I welcomed her into my house to be my househelp. As a good Samaritan, I contributed Ksh1,000 to buy her clothes," an infuriated RO told the press.

"I would leave her to do chores as I went to work. This time round, my husband has alienated his duties, but I know God is going to take care of them. All I want is for my children to be taken care of," she added.

The drama ensued after she made her way to the venue minutes after the groom and the bride had walked down the aisle. An altercation occurred, leading to a bitter exchange between her and the surprised groom.

Minutes later, Nakuru-based police officers arrived at the scene to restore order and restrained the embattled wife from disrupting the event. After the tension simmered down, the groom and the bride proceeded with the wedding, much to the chagrin of the first wife.

It remains unclear whether RO's actions were prompted by the priest's call, urging attendees to halt the wedding with concrete reasons or forever hold their peace.

RO was also yet to disclose whether she had other concrete evidence to back her claims other than siring children with her husband.

See how the man is no longer taking care of his children? The 2 still got married, this isn't morally right.

However a woman, actually a child, started playing on all my social media accounts. First she sent me a WhatsApp message. There was a photo of a filthy little baby on her profile. The baby's clothing was not only dirty but her shirt which was supposed to be snapped between her legs, was hanging out of her pants.

The woman refused to reply when I asked who she was, she just left the messages on read. After marrying my husband I found out just how worthless he was. He was always cheating but a severe alcoholic that was always abandoning jobs.

As a Black American woman, I don't think I'm worthless and don't want to share a husband, especially a poverty stricken, drunkard. Women that think that sharing and cheating are normal, than they deserve the men they get. However I'm not one of them and would have rather remained single, or married a non-African man.

People might think that as being rude but no one has time to play games as if they're living in the 1600's. If that is your preference or part of your religion than good for you. It's not part of mine.

It's also not part of many churches in Kenya. Kenyans are doing this without the real blessing of their church and knowing it's not sanctioned any where in the bible. As a matter of fact every examples of polygamy in the bible shows it's failed.

My husband and I talked a lot about him coming to America and about marriage for only citizenship. To see where he was at, I offered to marry him just for him to come to the United States, he turned that offer down. He said that he wanted a real family, he said he would wait until one of his cousins helped him or he would just marry locally.

After a few months we moved on with our relationship. He was soft spoken but when he spoke it was always powerful. He had a horrible childhood, as did I.

His father was an alcoholic that hated him to death, he abused him verbally. I had the same issues with my mother as well. Which made loving him easy. We went through a lot and I know now I should not have stayed with him. He often said I was all he had, I did for him and his mother did as well. However because she didn't have much she couldn't do as much.

His father refused to help him finish university, so he stopped for a few years. He went back and was attending when I met him. He was almost 30-years old and I helped him through school. He lived in the boys quarters of his Aunt Lucy's home in Elderet, I really adore his Aunt Lucy.

Wyckliffe Obwoge Ogenche, though preferred being treated like a baby, from his mother, from me and he backslide once out of university. I married a man that was not motivated to do anything but drink and he started cheating.

After we got married things got worse and he asked to come live with me in Ghana, after I moved from Kenya. He was always drunk when I spoke to him. He married that young girl in the village and that baby was his daughter, however he left her after about 2 months.

The girl ended up messaging me for money often, I had given her some money for her baby but she wanted too much. She started thinking I should care for her child.

After his mother died, I called my husband Wyckliffe to give my condolences. After that we stayed in touch, He continued to ask about moving to Ghana where I was living, I didn't trust him. He even asked me to return to Kenya. I had no idea he was married to another woman all that time.

Since this time his brother Wilson completed suicide, then his brother Calvin Ombongi was murdered.

I've written often about polygamy often, as it's a failure in Africa and has caused so much poverty. Women in Kenya are often abandoned by their men to just simply marry another woman. Men have done this even women a woman has daughters and not sons men have left them. Just for not having a male child. Gender-based violence increased as well as abused towards the children.

According to data released by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) in January 2023, the chances of married people divorcing or separating are 1.3 times higher than a decade ago.

661,628 households were headed by persons who had separated from their spouses, according to KNBS.

At the same time, according to the 2023 Child Protection Data released by the Directorate of Children Service (DCS), child neglect ranked top with 54.1 per cent in the cases children face.

Others include manhandling (2.4 per cent), being abandoned (3.9 per cent), child truancy (4.1 per cent) and battle for custody (16.5 per cent).

I will continue and pursue my lawsuit, even if it has to go all the way to the Kenyan Supreme court. This is also how many Kenyans are scamming citizenship from the United States, having many wives in Kenya and marrying Americans just for citizenship.
