On Tuesday, November 20, 2018, political analyst David Makali was accused by his wife, Doris Chepchumba, of abandoning her and their children and leaving them to struggle in the village while he remained in the city.
According to the account, Makali met Doris in 2011 after ending his first marriage, then married her in a traditional ceremony in 2012. The report also says his first wife left him in 2009 after accusing him of assault and mistreatment and taking him to court.
The allegations against Makali did not stop there. The source claims that after his lavish home burned down last year following an electrical fault, he blamed Doris for the incident and forced her out with the children.
Doris is said to have since relocated back to the village because life became too hard. The article further states that Makali, who later got a job at Radio Africa Group as head of content, has since married a third wife and no longer supports his second wife and their children.
The source presents the claims as an exposure of Makali as a dead-beat father. Nyakundi Report has retained the allegations, denials were not included in the source material.
