“People attack me and even say I sacrificed my children”Senator Isaac Mwaura speaks on tragic death of his babies

Nominated senator Isaac Mwaura’s wife Nelius Mukami were blessed with triplets – two boys and a girl sometimes in January 2017.

The triplets were delivered premature and stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for 11 weeks before two of them sadly passed on.

The senator has opened up about the deaths of his two babies in an interview with Word Is. He explained how he was coping with the situation almost a year later.

“I am a happy dad of one surviving child from my triplets. I love the way we play around with him because he reminds me that if his brother and sister would be alive today, they would have also been like him because they looked alike,” said Mwaura.

Attacks

Mwaura also opened up about being attacked just because of his skin color. He says some political critics even claim he sacrificed the lives of his two babies.

“People attack me on the basis of albinism and tell me nitauzwa Tanzania. They even say that I sacrificed my children. In the beginning, you feel the trolls but over time you realise it is common and decide to just laugh because that is when you are making an impact. I even thought of blocking the trolls but realised that is a way of attracting traffic on their timelines, through posting controversial sentiments on my timelines.”
