BY NT REPORTER.
A Nairobi children court has issued orders directing the ministry of defence to release about 4.6 million shillings money meant for children upkeep accrued over 9 years to a mother of three.
The alleged wife to Major Douglas Ole Loina an Air force pilot went to court in 2008 after her husband abandoned their matrimonial home for another woman.
Besides being three months pregnant at the time, she had two other children to fend for. Major Ole Loina on several occasions skipped court proceedings and despite being issued with uncountable orders to cater for his children’s upkeep, he has remained defiant.
“I am educating my wife and has a kid to take care of. Cant you compell this woman to take care of her children” Ole Loina once told the judge when he appeared in court.
In April the childrens court summoned the PS defence to appear in court and show cause why action should not be taken against him for failing to obey a court order that directed his office to deduct 1/3 of ole Loina’s salary for the children’s upkeep.
The PS however sent a representative from the legal team at the Department of defence (DOD) who promised that they will adhere to the orders once served.
Mrs. Ole Loina however says her children have been out of school for lack of school fees since last term.
