Millie Odhiambo Takes Action After Revelation on Okoth's Secret 'Family'

Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has declared that she will present an amendment to the Marriage Act, that compels men to publicly declare their children.

On her Facebook page, the MP stated that the amendment would compel all men, whether married or not, to declare the number of children they have sired, while still alive.

"I am bringing an amendment to the Marriage Act compelling all men to publicly declare their children in and out of wedlock while alive and in case they don't, the mothers should declare. 

"Mourning with shocks and counter shocks can cause another funeral," she divulged.

The MP's post was met with different opinions, with some supporting her sentiments, while others citing that the amendment would break many homes.

"Yes, I support u, ma'am!" John Soita Irene commented.

"You want to open a Pandora's box? Certain things are better left unsaid. We may break many families," Mak Oloo noted.

Ms Odhiambo's sentiments came after Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko, went on a rant on how the late Ken Okoth’s second and secret 'wife', Ann Thumbi, had threatened to stop the deceased’s burial.

Ms Thumbi wanted her son, that she reportedly sired with the late Okoth, recognised before the MP's final rites.

“I am a witness to this. I will have wronged Ken by keeping quiet on it because I know the truth. They were going out, and even the last time they were in France together. I sympathise with Monica, I know she is a widow during this difficult moment, but let me talk the truth,” Sonko told mourners on Thursday.
