Losing a child is the most painful ordeal any parent of guardian can go through or even losing a loved one.
Well we know him for been so open on issues of people with disability and been the voice to this particular group but we could not be aware of the ordeal he had to go through at some point in his life.
Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura is a father of one but could have been of three but unfortunately he lost two of his kids.
In 2017 was one of the most difficult year for him and his wife Nelius Mwaura after the lose of their two kids.They blessed with triplets early last year but lost two of the babies (a boy and a girl). The surviving son will be turning two soon.
In an interview Hon. Mwaura said, “I did not want my wife to get drained by the whole situation and therefore I focused and God gave me grace.”
In addition he said, “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.”
Life became a nightmare for the couple but through prayers and support from friends, they got back on their feet.
How does he juggle between family and politics? “It is a challenge to be a family man and a politician because I have to travel a lot and leave my family for some time. I have a very understanding wife.”
Mwaura also talked of his experience with social media bullying.“People attack me on the basis of albinism and tell me nitauzwa (I will be sold in) 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.”
