From Dubai to Drama: CS Alfred Mutua Exposed in Explosive Baby Mama Scandal
The corridors of power are buzzing with chatter about Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua’s latest dilemma – and this time, it’s not about government policy.
Rumor has it that the charismatic CS, known for his suave public image, is in a bit of a pickle over what he’s calling a “brief and inconsistent” romantic fling that has now turned into a costly legal mess.
Insiders say Mutua’s troubles kicked off in 2022 during what appeared to be a harmless shopping trip to Dubai Mall. What began as a light-hearted chat with a Kenyan woman known only as FMM has now escalated into a custody battle that could lay bare the private life of one of Kenya’s most prominent government figures.
The Dubai Connection
Rumor has it that their short-lived romance – which barely lasted a year – led to the arrival of a daughter in August 2023. But here’s where it gets interesting: the woman is now asking for a staggering Sh6 million in backdated child support, painting a picture of a father who supposedly disappeared when it was time to step up.
“These demands are outrageous and appalling,” Mutua reportedly stated in court documents, clearly rattled by what he terms harassment and extortion attempts.
But FMM isn’t backing down. Court papers reveal her laundry list of demands that read like a government wish list gone rogue:
The Instagram Bombshell
It seems that one of the biggest hits to Mutua’s carefully crafted public persona came when FMM allegedly “outed” him on Instagram as the father of her child. Sources indicate that this unexpected revelation has left the CS in a bit of a scramble to manage the situation, arguing that it puts his daughter at unnecessary risk because of his high-profile position.
The DNA test, which was carried out in December 2023 and confirmed just last month, validated what many had already suspected – Mutua is indeed the biological father. However, insiders are saying he’s been slow to step up and take responsibility, which has led to the ongoing legal standoff.
The Million-Shilling Breakdown
FMM’s expense sheet reads like a luxury lifestyle manual:
- Sh3.6 million for rent alone
- Sh564,000 for food and toiletries
- Sh69,800 for a three-night birthday party at Dubai’s Grand Hyatt
- Additional costs for domestic help, utilities, clothing, and even car insurance
It’s quite ironic, isn’t it? A guy who talks a big game about good governance and accountability is now facing accusations of not stepping up to his own parental duties.
The WhatsApp Trail
Perhaps most damaging are the alleged WhatsApp exchanges that have found their way into court documents. One particularly telling message from FMM reportedly reads: “Hi Alfred… I wanted to refresh your memory that you didn’t use a condom on me. You’ve stated multiple times that I impregnated myself.”
Another message allegedly shows her frustration: “I am left with zero options… No job. I’m in Kenya with my child. You have refused any obligations.”
What’s Next?
As the case moves to Milimani Children’s Court, Mutua is advocating for a 50:50 parenting split while firmly denying any extortion allegations. He emphasizes his readiness to support his daughter within the law but refuses to comply with what he describes as “outrageous demands.”
On the other hand, FMM is pursuing full custody and wants Mutua to be officially recognized as the biological father, arguing that she has taken on all the responsibilities since the child was born.
The Stakes
For a man whose political career has thrived on showcasing competence and moral integrity, this custody battle couldn’t have come at a worse moment. With President Ruto’s administration facing scrutiny over a range of issues, the last thing the government needs is a Cabinet Secretary caught up in a messy personal scandal.
As one political insider quipped: “When you’re busy trying to fix the country’s labor issues, the last thing you need is your own domestic affairs making headlines.”
The case is still unfolding, and judging by these court documents, it looks like Kenyans are about to uncover more details about their typically private Cabinet Secretary’s not-so-private affairs.
