Swaleh Mdoe Gets Sued For 95,000/- In Child Support And He Might Get Imprisoned

Swaleh Mdoe is one of the most recognizable brands on Kenyan television. The man who popularized Swahili news however is on the wrong end of a civil suit filed against him by a woman called Fauzia Ahmed who claims through her lawyers that he sired her now 10 year old child wants Swaleh Mdoe’s employers at Royal Media Service’s television station Citizen TV to apportion 95,000/- of his salary for child support.

 

The woman who is targeting his reported 750,000/- Kshs salary. The Children’s Court (where the lawsuit was lodged) also ordered Swaleh to appear before it and explain why he shouldn’t be jailed after refusing to live up to his parental responsibilities.

 

Fauzia Ahmed claimed to have cohabited with the news anchor since 2001 until the reportedly got a daughter in 2004. But on his part, Swaleh denies that the daughter is biologically his and through his lawyers defended himself thus:

“I have never cohabited with the plaintiff, as she has failed to provide any details of where we lived. I’m a married man with a wife and children, and it would not have been possible to cohabit with someone else.”

 

He then demanded that the plaintiff furnish proof that he does indeed earn 750,000/-. In an interesting twist of events, the lady had been asked to have a paternity test carried out way back in 2011 but to date none has been carried out.

 

Keep it Ghafla for more as the saga plays out.
