Which contractor built the road to Rigathi Gachagua's home in Wamunyoro? A road that is less than 5 years old having these kinds of potholes is concerning.

Soipan Tuya, Cabinet Secretary for Defense, and Stephen Saibulu Kudate, a former Narok County Assembly MCA and Majority Leader, began living together in December 2013 and had two children. Their relationship reportedly became strained around 2020, well before Tuya’s appointment as Cabinet Secretary in 2022. In October 2023, Tuya filed a court application seeking custody of the children, financial support, and protective orders. She stated that she had largely borne the family’s financial responsibilities, including school fees and upkeep, and alleged neglect of parental duties as well as abuse. She sought KSh 425,000 per month for the children’s expenses. Kudate denied the allegations, maintained that he had contributed to the family, and claimed Tuya had forced him out of their Kileleshwa home after her appointment. He also said he was being denied meaningful access to the children. The couple presented conflicting accounts, and the public record consists of allegations rather than final judicial findings. The timing of the dispute’s visibility after Tuya’s elevation to national office should not be taken as proof that her career success caused the breakdown, given that serious difficulties had already emerged by 2020. Professional achievement and differences in income or status do not determine the quality of a relationship or a parent’s fitness. What matters is shared responsibility, mutual respect, accountability, and the prioritisation of children’s welfare when a relationship ends. High-profile separations often attract speculation, but the available information offers competing claims rather than a complete picture of what occurred privately.
