She has appealed with Kenyans to help her build her a home arguing that she currently lives in a bedsitter together with her children and has a difficult time paying the Sh5,000 rent.

“Mimi naomba nijengewe ata kama ni ka one-bedroom ya mabati. Sai naishi bedsitter ya 5,000 Kayole. Nko na arrears ya miezi mbili… Staki kusumbua watu, sai times ni hard kila mtu ako na mambo zake anafanya, mimi naomba tu nijengewe ata kama ni one-bedroom ya mabati, ya mabati iko sawa kushikilia tu, na mimi nijitolee nipate kazi nifanye ata mimi Mungu akinijalia nipate kazi ntaipandisha,” she said.

Speaking during the same interview, Omosh noted that the house he was recently built for has been occupied by his second wife since she has smaller kids.

“Ningekuwa na uwezo ata singelilia mtu wingine…Maombi yangu ni kuwa kabla sijafa, yeye pia atakuwa na nyumba yake,” Omosh said.
