The Chief Administrative Secretary (CAF) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ababu Namwamba may be in one scandal but reports have it that he has allegedly been accused of having affairs with immediate family.
Just recent elders from Ababu’s village, including his relatives and a Catholic priest had previously reported that the affairs have moved now to him having affairs with immediate and extended family.
According to Fr David Olusi, The Port Victoria Catholic Church cleric who apparently grew up with Hon. Namwamba said, the affairs include sexual relations with very close family members and that he even impregnated his watchman’s daughter.
This accusations against Ababu go way back as a law student at the University of Nairobi in 1995.
Ababu’s first wife allegedly left him because of the affair with Prisca Mwaro who also has left for cheating on her.
By then, Prisca had just completed high school at St Cecilia Namenye Girls High School.
That was in 2009, but by 2014 elders were being called to intervene when one of the partners was accused of straying.
Fr Olusi further added saying, “As a priest, I have heard these things about Ababu. When I went to Rome for studies and kept on hearing these things, I wrote about it on social media and asked Catholics not to vote for such people.“Leaders should not get involved in such things like impregnating girls, and leaving their children everywhere. Society must condemn such acts.”
He further added saying, “I know he impregnated his watchman’s daughter. There are so many kids out there. This type of immorality must be condemned.”
Ababu’s cousin Johnson Wasimba said he is aware of accusations against Ababu and that the family had given up.
“He won’t listen to us. The only person he can listen to is the president. So many bad things have happened and we can’t condone them anymore. I have daughters in university, and never in my life did I think I would tell my children to avoid their uncle.
“But yes, I have warned my daughters to avoid Ababu. People are afraid to speak about these things yet they know it’s wrong. They are afraid because they are poor and suffering, and expect Ababu to bail them out.”
Wasimba added that: “Ababu is a sharp young man and we love him dearly. He has leadership qualities that can change our village, but we need to point out the truth and tell him that he is heading the wrong way.
“If he changes his ways, the entire community can benefit from his leadership,” said Wasimba.
