A woman who claims to be Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka’s mistress wants him to pay Sh25 million for the upkeep of their unborn child. – By Caleb Mwikya.
She wants court to compel Lusaka to make a monthly maintenance of Sh200,000 for direct or indirect needs of their unborn child.
“Pending the hearing and determination of this petition, the respondent be and is hereby ordered to support the unborn child by making a lump sum payment of Sh25,000,000 or any other reasonable amount in the circumstances which should meet the direct and/or indirect needs of their unborn child and after its birth,” the petition reads.
Omari claims that his client has been going through pregnancy complications that potentially threaten the life of their unborn child if unmitigated.
He said her situation worsened because she is unable to financially meet the cost of the hospitals that guarantee expectant women the highest standard of health commensurate with the class and stature of the Senate Speaker.
She also wants the court to order Lusaka to include her in his medical scheme to safeguard the welfare of the unborn baby.
“Lusaka’s defiant and brazen refusal to accept responsibility and assist the applicant to access esteemed hospitals capable of giving her highest standard of prenatal care threatens the life of their unborn child and is therefore is in sharp contravention of the constitutional safeguards of life, which begins at conception,” read court documents.
Omari argues that his client being unemployed and the pregnancy being a high-risk one, and of a child that would possibly rise to the position of the Speaker of the Senate.
“Unless this matter is disposed and determined on a priority basis and ex-parte orders granted irreparable damage and prejudice will be occasioned on the un-born child and/or its mother yet the cause of the pregnancy in question is well known to do the individual that runs the risk of improperly mentoring young men to be irresponsible men and fathers,” Omari says.
