On August 20, 2019, the High Court Family Division summoned Margaret Saitoti, the widow of late Cabinet Minister Prof George Saitoti, after she was accused of abducting a child in Nakuru.
Sebastian Maina Ngunju, a teacher, claims that Zachary Musengi, who is believed to be Saitoti's son, is actually his own son, Stephen Wachira, who was abducted by Mrs. Saitoti and her agents over 30 years ago.
According to court documents, Ngunju first appeared in the public in 2012 when he filed a case in Nakuru seeking to be allowed to institute a private prosecution against Mr. Saitoti's family. He was joined in the case with his wife, Elizabeth Maina.
The court summons were presented at Saitoti's Lavington, Nairobi residence but did not find her home for the second consecutive time. They were received by two Administration Policemen at the gate.
Mrs. Saitoti has been summoned to appear in court within 15 days from the day of serving.
