“The young boy was the most affected by the parent’s separation & the aftermath, First he went to Chania High School in Thika, having passed primary school. He was supported by the mother and some few friends and some. But even they could not afford to keep him in school. He studied for a few weeks in form one,then school fees arrears kicked him out of school,”
“Friends enrolled him at Mavoko High School in Machakos County in Form 2. He schooled for two terms, developed a medical issues and dropped out. He is now at Green Oak, combining both Form 3 and Form 4 work. That was the only way to save him from depression,”

“After staying with him ten years in marriage, I did not believe that a day would come that we would not be together,”
she said in an interview.
“I went into denial when he left to marry Esther and I thought that I should maybe give him time and he would come back, because the person I knew and the person I am seeing are totally different,”
“Quincy is an amazing person, people can pick just this one person out of the two and paint this other one as if they came from hell. And in the first place I could not have stayed with him for that long if he was an animal or a killer. Then he would have killed the children I have with him,”
