Maraga dismisses claims he fathered child with strange woman and abandoned them

Chief Justice David Maraga has dismissed claims by a woman that he fathered her child withe her and later deserted them.



This is after a woman caused a stir at Milimani Law Courts wailing, accusing the Chief Justice of not taking care of their six year-old-daughter who was a product of an extra-marital affair.



She was also demanding over KSh160,000 from the CJ in child support payment.



Through his lawyer, Danstan Omari, Maraga said the allegations and the papers presented before the court are generated and should not be relied upon.



According to Omari, the case has not been filed before the court and the woman had only presented the papers in court for assessment but was unable to pay the filing fees as required.



Omari further said they will write to the DPP, DCI and all relevant agents to investigate the issue.



“If this is aimed at assassinating the character of the Chief Justice, it is our position we shall be calling on the DPP and all relevant arms of government to get to the root course of this fraud,’’ he added.



Omari wants the mastermind of the petition unmasked, saying the President of the Supreme Court is not worried about the allegations made by the woman.
