SLAY QUEEN STOPS MPs BURIAL

A Nairobi court has temporarily stopped burial of Matungu MP Justus Murunga.

Milimani Principal Magistrate Ann Makau also certified the case filed by Ms Agnes Wangui Wambiri as urgent and fixed hearing for November 26.

The court directed her to give two other women she has listed as respondents, Ms Christabel and Grace Murunga, with the documents of the case so that they can respond to her claims.

The lady wants to be allowed to participate in the burial of the MP and also be recognized.

She also wants DNA test taken from her and her two kids to ascertain that the Matungu MP fathered them.

Ms Wambiri says she had a relationship with the lawmaker since 2012, an affair that led to the birth of two children aged seven and three years.

Wambiri says that their relationship started 8 years ago when the MP was a supervisor at Embakasi Ranching and her a businesswoman selling snacks and beverages.

“All along the deceased intimated to me that he lived in Utawala with Ms Christabel Murunga and in May 2016 he rented a house for me and our son in Ruai,” claims the woman in court papers.

The MP used to pay their rent and cater for expenses through MPESA. Wambiri claims though that the MP changed once he became a legislator.

“The deceased never wanted the public nor his family to learn of the existence of these two children and even denied me his identification card for purposes of procuring birth certificates for the children,” she claims.

Wambiri would beg the Matungu MP to continue supporting the family. He relented and resumed fatherly duties.

“Prior to his death, I had spoken to him on November 12, 2020 checking up on him after being discharged from hospital. He sent me Sh1300 for gas refill and later Sh4000 as maintenance costs,” Ms Wambiri claims in her court papers.

By seeking court’s intervention, the woman says she is apprehensive that there may be concerted efforts by two people she named as Christabel and Grace Murunga to deny her children and herself access and participation in the burial arrangements.
