A shocking revelation has rocked Makueni County after it emerged that a woman who had long claimed to be the mother of Governor Mutula Kilonzo Junior’s child fabricated the entire story.
For nearly ten years, the woman, identified as Victoria Ndunge Musyoki, managed to convince not only close friends and family members but also legal authorities that Governor Mutula was the biological father of her child.
According to court documents and reports, Victoria went to great lengths to sustain the lie, weaving a tale that fooled many and tarnished the governor’s name.
The matter came to light after Governor Mutula insisted on undergoing a DNA test, determined to clear his name and end the long-standing speculation surrounding his alleged child.
The test results, which were released recently, proved conclusively that he was not the father, marking a major turning point in a saga that had lingered for years.
The shocking outcome left the court with no choice but to take stern action against Victoria for her deception.
In a ruling that has since sparked national debate, the court ordered her to compensate the governor with Ksh 15 million for emotional distress, defamation, and damages caused by her false claims.
The verdict is being hailed as a strong warning against individuals who fabricate paternity claims for personal or financial gain.
Sources close to the governor revealed that Mutula had endured years of humiliation and gossip, as the story of his supposed child frequently surfaced during his political career.
The false narrative reportedly strained some of his personal and professional relationships, as many believed the woman’s story due to her persistence and apparent confidence.
Victoria’s motives remain unclear, but insiders suggest that she might have sought financial support or political attention by linking herself to a prominent figure like Mutula.
Her plan, however, has now backfired spectacularly, leaving her not only publicly disgraced but also financially burdened.
The case has sparked a broader conversation about false paternity accusations in Kenya, with many calling for tougher penalties to deter similar incidents.
Legal experts have praised Governor Mutula’s patience and insistence on a DNA test, saying it sets an example for other men who find themselves in questionable paternity disputes.
As the dust settles, the governor is said to be focusing on his duties, grateful that justice has finally prevailed and his name has been cleared once and for all.
