PETITIONER’S STATEMENT
I MICAH OMBATI MOTURI of P.O.Box 36090-00200, NAIROBI in the Republic of
Kenya do state as follows;-
I am the Petitioner in this suit and reside at KAYOLE, Nairobi.
I am the husband of the Respondent having been married on or about 2014 at
NYAMIRA church wedding and issued marriage certificate at Nairobi registry. During
our marriage we were blessed with two issues.
1. PATIENCE MORAA OMBATI
2. ANGEL CANDANCE OMBATI
I have had a strained matrimonial relationship with the Respondent spanning 7 years
during which the Respondent deserted our matrimonial house sometimes in the year
2021,with all our investments as a family parting away with all our households with her
new lover, ceased communicating as wife and husband. In addition to this, I have been
denied my conjugal rights by the Respondent during this entire time, failed to take due
regard of my welfare, acted irresponsibly, despite my several advice and her promise to
change her ways.
In view of all this tribulations, I have opted to file this suit for divorce taking into
consideration all the failed attempts to reconcile and grow a family based on Christian
morals.
That’s all I wish to state.
SIGNED BY ME
