In a sworn affidavit at the Children’s Court, case number 716 of 2015, at the High Court, Family Division for matrimonial property and divorce case, Jean-Claude Adzalla says his wife, Jackline Wanjiru Muiruri, has frustrated his efforts to recover the money from a business and property they co-own after their marriage broke down. He is also accusing Wanjiru of infidelity, citing it as the cause of their marriage breaking down.
“I came to Kenya on July 31, 2005 to take up the position of Programmes Coordinator for Norwegian-based organisation. I was then promoted to Country Director and currently, I am the Regional Director for East and West Africa,” says Adzalla in a sworn affidavit.
He says he first met Wanjiru who then was a cyber café attendant in Embakasi Village.
“A friendship developed soon after and before I knew it, she had moved into my house in Nyayo estate. We were actually never officially married, neither at the AG’s office nor according to Kikuyu customary laws. We do have an affidavit of marriage (signed before a Commissioner of Oaths) because she suggested that was required then to issue our daughter Naima with a Kenyan passport, and to allow her to travel to my home country Togo.”
In his affidavit, Adzalla says the first two years of marriage was blissful, but problems started in 2007 after the birth of their first daughter.
He says he was alerted by their shamba boy about his wife’s infidelity when he had travelled out of the country. Despite his suspicions, he reportedly decided to take Wanjiru to college, as well as pay fees for Wanjiru’s younger sister.
