Published on September 7, 2019, a woman has taken former State House Director of Digital and Diaspora Communications Dennis Itumbi to court over child maintenance.
According to court documents filed through lawyer Enricah Dulo, the woman claims she was in a love affair with Itumbi between January and August 2018 before he ended the relationship after she informed him of her pregnancy.
She successfully delivered a baby girl on June 14, 2019, and is now seeking Sh50,000 monthly subsistence allowance to cater for the minor's food, clothing, medicine, and house help salary.
The woman also wants Itumbi to provide a copy of his national identity card so that his name can be included in the girl's birth certificate.
Lawyer Dulo stated that Itumbi exhibited cruelty by attempting to convince the woman to abort the pregnancy and has since blocked her, making it difficult for her to engage with him on the welfare of the minor.
The matter will be heard on September 26, 2019.
