Best friends are rare and especially loyal ones. Betty Kyallo´s recent expose on her daughter Ivanna´s illness has ignited mixed reactions and irked the emotions of involved parties.

When Dennis Okari could not defend himself, his pal, Ken Mijungu came to his rescue fearlessly.

The NTV journalist went on a public rant following K24´s Betty Kyallo´s expose that caught the hearts of many.

Ken decided to bite the bullet on behalf of his best friend and Betty´s baby daddy, Dennis Okari in a bid to put the events of Ivanna´s illness in black and white.

Taking to his Facebook page, the senior anchor at NTV revealed he knows the risks he is about to pin on himself but cared less if this is the only way the ´truth´ will come out.

Speaking of different battles the year 2019 has seen him through, Ken emphasized on baby Ivanna´s battle with an illness that ran into millions for her treatment.

He starts off:

Yesterday I went to sleep with a heavy heart. I read a post by my colleague Betty. While she has the right to post anything about Ivanna and her challenges this year and thank God for it, she inevitably and deliberately exposed my best friend Dennis as an irresponsible father. From the responses, you guys have bashed Deno for no reason and I know Betty will not correct it so I will.

Before giving a brief summary of the happening of events on those fateful days:

Betty be honest, Okari and even Naomi were there for Ivanna from the day we learnt of her illness and were by her side day and night. Dennis called me on 23rd March at about 10am, asked me to drop whatever I was doing because Ivanna was critical. Too weak to walk alone or drive he asked me to pick him at home. We met on Mombasa road since he couldn’t wait for me and we drove straight to hospital. At Nairobi hospital Betty blocked my access to the ward cubicle where Ivanna was only allowing Dennis in. I stayed by the glass doors from 11am to 2pm watching Ivanna who I must say was very sick. Okari remained inside all that while with Betty and was joined later by Betty’s mum and sister Gloria. I understood her action because it was about the baby. I left at about 2pm. 

Support system

Ken went ahead to give details of the outstanding hospital bill that crippled Okari´s daily duties but his environment was conducive enough.

For every single day that followed from that day on Okari was at the hospital day and night with his daughter. We raised funds to offset a 7M + bill. Okari only came to work when he could and our boss understood for all those months.

Out-rightly bashing a dear Betty for her actions that seem to have only favored her side, Ken called her out to stop painting her baby daddy as ´irresponsible´ yet he was by Ivanna´s side day and night.

Ken further warned Betty to avoid burning her bridges despite the fact that she seems cuddled with love by her current ´Somali guy´.

To deliberately paint him as irresponsible is immoral my friend. You don’t have to correct the impression you have created because the Somali guy is by your side but at-least be honest. We were friends before and one day we shall be friends again.

As he concluded, his words read:

Even though the relationship did not work Ivanna remains part of us and we thank God she is ok. You don’t need to thank Okari and Ivanna’s grand parents who visited and prayed with her but at least be honest about it. Ivanna opened her eyes on the 9th of April and we thank God for the miracle.
