A Danish man on Wednesday, March 14, pleaded for help from the government stating that his Kenyan ex-wife had taken over his Ksh12 million house in Malindi and moved in with another man.
According to the 48-year-old, he purchased the beach cottage while on vacation with his then-wife in 2021 for Ksh10.5 million and spent a further Ksh2 million to renovate and furnish the house.
He narrated that he met the Kenyan in Denmark in 2020 while she was married to another man but he decided to marry her weeks after she divorced her other Danish spouse.
Moreover, he stated that he made the decision to move to Nairobi to stay with his Kenyan wife because it was difficult for her to obtain a residence permit in Denmark.
“I have been funding our entire relationship including the entire move back to Kenya. Everything from holidays to our daily necessities has come out of my pocket.
“I have even funded several of her trips to Kenya as well as holidays and birthday presents for her daughter while we lived together in Denmark,” the man narrated.
The danish man explained that he was able to buy the Malindi Beach Cottage from his investments in Denmark noting that it was his first investment in Kenya.
Moreover, he added that his ex-wife had tricked him into including her name on the sale agreement claiming that he was not allowed to own property in Kenya as a foreigner.
“I am living in exile in Denmark away from the property I own in Kenya and the life I have worked hard for.
“She has used her connections to get my residence permit revoked. Her plan is to keep me away and enjoy her sweet life at my expense,” the man added.
Further narrating his plight, the Danish man explained that he left his cottage in February 2023, to accompany his ailing father but when his ex-wife learnt of his departure, she travelled to Malindi, broke into the house and moved in with another man.
“She broke into the cottage the following day after I left without warning and moved in with another man. The man I employed to look after my residence was brutally attacked and chased away.
“She is killing my dream to invest in Kenya and live a beautiful life,” the man lamented
The Kenyan woman did not comment on the matter as the case was in court pending further investigations.
