Digital strategist and blogger Dennis Itumbi has been ordered to start paying upkeep for a child he is believed to have sired.
After media reports about the ruling, he admitted that indeed the child was indeed his.
"The child is mine. May the child suckle with both cheeks. The best care, a father must offer a child is assured," he wrote on Facebook.
Itumbi was ordered by a children's court to pay Ksh 20,000 monthly upkeep, pending hearing and determination of the case.
According to a report by Daily Nation on November 29, the court also allowed the parties to have an out-of-court settlement on the matter.
Further, the child's mother, through her lawyer Enricah Dulo, stated that she wanted a Ksh 50,000 monthly pay, a medical cover and for Itumbi to be compelled to pay the child's school fees.
In an affidavit filed in court, the child's mother alleged that Itumbi refused to provide any form of maintenance, knowing that she was an orphan.
The papers also revealed that she was helpless, noting that she had been unsuccessful in her efforts to reach him.
The aggrieved woman also wants to include Itumbi's name in the minor's birth certificate and has asked the court to order him to provide a copy of his national identity card.
Daily Nation's report also indicated that the two were in a relationship for approximately one year, between January and August 2018, before they broke up.
"He ended the relationship sometime in August 2018, when the lady informed him that she was pregnant with his child. She successfully delivered a female child on June 14, this year," Dulo revealed.
