Following Mzee Ojwang's death, Huddah Monroe publicly discussed her past connection to the late actor.
Huddah Monroe stated she had acted in Vitimbi, specifically playing the role of Kayak, which would have made Mzee Ojwang her on-set father.
However, many people questioned the authenticity of this claim, suggesting it might be an attempt to seek attention.
During an appearance on NTV's the Trend, where two Vitimbi cast members were guests, they corroborated Huddah Monroe's statement about her involvement in the show.
Mama Kayai, a Vitimbi actress, described Huddah Monroe as a talented actor who could have achieved more if she had been patient and not pursued the lifestyle commonly associated with socialites. The conversation also touched upon mocking Huddah Monroe's lifestyle choices.
