Abel Mutua’s wife reveals the fact she runs away from his relatives

Judy Nyawira, the wife of comedian and screenwriter Abel Mutua, claims she makes every effort to maintain a distance from her in-laws.

When asked why, Nyawira explains that she kept a distance with her in-laws after getting married because of a bad event in the past.

Nyawira claims that after her father passed away in 2002, her mother’s in-laws turned against her, kicking them out of their marital house and taking his father’s money.

When her father passed away, he had not yet created a will, according to Judy, who described her mother as a loving housewife who planned out her father’s life.

“Everything they had built with my dad was in his name. So when the in-laws decided to do whatever they did, she had no means to claim.”

Her mother was forced to work as a cleaner at a nearby market where she was paid Sh200 a day after they tragically lost everything.

Judy claims that her motivation to work hard came from witnessing her mother being disparaged and left at the whim of others.

“I would accompany mom to the market where we would sweep for as low as Sh200. Starting from scratch was hard.

Our breakthrough came when mom got a job in Karatina town. I was in High School at that time and life gradually changed for the better. Mom could now afford to escort me to a supermarket and buy me biscuits, blue band, and other goodies plus give me Sh500 pocket money before I left for school.”

The incident from her youth has stayed with Nyawira to this day, and despite having a friendly relationship with her in-laws, she says she is well aware that anything might happen.

“Of course I have in-laws but if there is something I strive to do is stay away from my in-laws. We have a very cordial relationship but I always try to keep a distance and it’s because of what I saw my mum go through with her in-laws.”

Nine years into her marriage, Nyawira and her spouse have a 12-year-old daughter named Stephanie Mumbua.
