The Sorry State Of Raphael Tuju’s Estranged Wife. This Is What She Does For A Living

 The manner in which their 26 year marriage ended was so acrimonious and pathetic.

Raphael Tuju, former Rarieda MP and Foreign Affairs Minister, and his estranged wife Ruth Akinyi ended their relationship that spanned close to 26 years after the former accused the latter of adultery.

Tuju had gone to court to file for divorce after alleging that his long time wife Akinyi was having an affair with their bodyguard the late Tony Ogunda who was a GSU officer.

And after parting ways, Nairobian reports that Ms Akinyi is one woman who fell from grace to grass and now ‘sells food in a humble eatery along Mombasa Road’.

“She gets to work at 10 am where she prepares chapati, matumbo, fish, liver, beef stew and rice using charcoal jikos before selling the delicacies to hungry office workers along Mombasa Road,” the Nairobian further reports.

Akinyi is said to battle it out with other restaurants around the place, and has someone on the door step enticing people to come in and eat.

It is also reported that Akinyi’s restaurant offers food that ranges between 250/= and 450/=.

While Raphael Tuju is a business magnet, his former wife is struggling to make ends meet two years after they separated thanks to infidelity.

 

The two had three children before they separated.
