Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka has emerged victorious in a case filed against him by a woman who accused him of being a deadbeat father. The woman had sought Ksh.200,000 per month in support for her unborn child or a lumpsum payment of Ksh.25 million.
Published on August 24, 2021, the case was withdrawn by the woman after the parties decided to settle the matter out of court.
According to a court order, the woman 'wholly withdrew the entire suit dated June 15, 2021, together with all attendant applications.' The notice of withdrawal was dated August 20, 2021.
The woman had claimed that Lusaka, as the father of the unborn child, had refused to fulfill his obligation to support her by providing for her and the unborn kid's necessities.
Lusaka did not challenge the paternity and neither did he file any paper in response to the petition.
