Kenyan content creator Karangu Muraya has taken to social media to address allegations that he neglected his children's school fees. On September 20, he posted on Facebook, sharing photos of himself with his children in what appeared to be a school setting. The post came amid a public feud with his estranged first wife, Triza Njeri, who had accused him of being a deadbeat dad.
The dispute between Karangu and Triza has been ongoing, with both parties taking to social media to air their grievances. Triza had alleged that she was left to shoulder the cost of their children's education on her own and was forced to transfer their son Emmanuel out of boarding school due to lack of financial support.
Karangu denied the allegations, and screenshots of M-Pesa transactions showing payments for his children's school fees began circulating online. In his Facebook post, Karangu expressed frustration that despite paying the fees, he was still being accused of neglecting his responsibilities. He wrote: “I am never going to be intimidated again. You come here claiming that I haven’t paid the school fees, then when you find out that I had paid, you say it wasn’t a favour I was doing for you. Who said it was a favour?”
The public feud between Karangu and Triza has drawn mixed reactions from netizens. While some have praised Karangu for being a responsible father, others have criticized him for airing the matter publicly. Some have suggested that the two should handle their issues privately, while others have offered words of encouragement to Karangu.
Karangu's post also drew comments from his fans and followers, with some expressing support for him. Carol Kim commented with words of encouragement, writing: “May God increase you. May God give you more and more kids.” Others, however, were less supportive, with Flawrence M suggesting that the two should handle their issues privately.
The dispute between Karangu and Triza is not the first time the two have been in the public eye over their co-parenting arrangement. The two had previously signaled attempts at a peaceful co-parenting arrangement, but fresh disagreements keep drawing the dispute back into the public eye.
Karangu has previously spoken about his approach to parenting children from different relationships. The gospel singer said he treats all his children equally while focusing on providing for and protecting them. His swift response to his son Emmanuel's request for a laptop offered followers a different view of his involvement as a father.
