Environment Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya has taken legal action by filing a court case.
This is in pursuit of Ksh.425,000 from her ex-husband to cover school fees and the maintenance of their two children.
Simultaneously, she is seeking court orders to prevent her ex-husband from accessing her children, their home, their school, or any other place related to their well-being.
The court papers explicitly state, “An order compelling the respondent to pay 50 percent of school fees.”
The demand is at the heart of her legal action.

As well as various incidences of violence, abuse, and infidelity by the defendant.”
The primary grievance centers on Kudate’s failure to contribute to the children’s school fees and school-related expenses, despite having the financial capacity to do so.
Tuya insists that it is the defendant’s neglect, combined with abuse and infidelity, that has prompted her to seek court intervention regarding custody, care, and control of the children.
The court has scheduled this matter for mention on November 13, when further legal proceedings will unfold.
