[wanabidii] Re: Ruth Akinyi Tuju is Suicidal !!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Maurice,

 

I feel pity for the kids and Tuju more. There are some things when people grow up must be disciplined and dignify their family and protect the family from undue shame. This behavior of Ruth is tormenting and embarrassing to the family when things such as this come out in public. 

 

Naturally, the Ruth I know, is very friendly and social and has a very good heart.........If only she was able to get help earlier on time, we would be talking something different. 

 

But, there are some habitual behaviors' that need to be put on check by grown married couples for the sake of family however rich, powerful, mighty or free one is.  There are some freedom that are extra-ordinary that even if you are macho kavu, you feel inward condemnation and deep inside, one knows without doubt that, this is baaaaad..............

 

Things like extra-marital affairs in public,  drinking alcohol and getting drunk without due care, disrespecting the discipline of what makes a family whole;  having no love or respect for one another, loosing trust for each other and creating an environment of dislike and hate where there there is no room for love and motivation for each other in the family is definitely not a good thing.  Family must learn to discuss and reconcile on nitty gritty of some little here and there squabbles; and not allowing external forces to intrude and interfere with the family matters unless it is very necessary when special need for professional or councilor for intervention is felt necessary.   

 

These are some very important consideration that taken with care to save the institution of marriage and protect a home.

 

Like business, people invest in their family members and expect to leave behind a heritage that are deeply rooted and which impacts as role model behind after we are long gone.

 

This lady saw this coming a long time ago, I hope she took cautionary measures then, but she let herself loose to people who took her astray and adviced her negatively…….., that of "ahola yawa dhi kode" and now she has destroyed and put her family to arms length……..it is sad…………

 

I am pleased the twins are grown, mature, brave and strong and their father Tuju  have taken the challenge with a lot of restrain.  I Pray that God give them grace to over-come.  Who knows, after good medical attention she might recover and be herself again and her family will be more than happy to take her back.

 

Yes, before anymore worse-case-scenario take place, the twins are right, Ruth need urgent medical help before some hateful lunatic use her to finish her husband Tuju with the twins whose lives are now hanging in danger and then blame it on her mental condition.

Help our 'suicidal' mum, Tuju's twins ask court

Raphael Tuju's daughters have asked a city court to send their mother to a mental institution.

In court documents seen by The Nairobian, the twins – Alma and Yma – say they want the court to place their mother, Ruth Akinyi, under psychiatric care by a doctor since she is "tired of life and is contemplating suicide".

In a matter filed under a certificate of urgency at the High Court, Alma and Yma claim their mother is a danger to herself because she has told people close to her that she is considering ending her life.

"Akinyi has assaulted watchmen at the family premises as well as her house servants, and … has treated and behaved towards Alma and Yma in a manner that suggests she is in need of psychiatric evaluation and help," the court papers say.

Almas says: "In the month of November 2012, our mother took a suitcase of full clothes belonging to me and hid it for two months and when asked why she was doing that, she said she was doing it to teach me a lesson, but could not say what I had done wrong. I found her conduct in that instance to be out of the norm.

"In the same period, she ordered both I and my sister to leave home and in her words, 'to go search for husbands' and tried to harass us so that we could leave the residence. Earlier in the year, 2013, she instructed Anthony Ogunda (her alleged former boyfriend), now deceased, that I should be beaten where I used to hang out with friends in Westlands because I was not respectful to her."

The young women further claim that in February 2013, their mother went home "very drunk".

When Alma told her she could not drive out, Akinyi grabbed her by the throat and threatened to kill her, the papers say.

Almas says she was rescued (from her) by her father Tuju and a medic.

She further says: "My sister Yma too has been on the receiving end of her abnormal behaviour, some of which is particularised as follows: Our mother poured water on her computer and spoilt it totally, and they reconciled later when she paid 500 dollars so that the computer could be replaced,"

In their plea to the court, the twins say: "The respondent is a danger to the public as she is prone to fits of rage, and has attacked her servants among other people. As a result of her uncontrolled anger, she has been charged in court and the hearing of a criminal case is pending."

They say that it would be violation of her rights if she is subjected to a criminal trial yet she urgently needs psychiatric help.

Tuju's daughters say they had lived well with their mother in the family's home until she started to abuse alcohol. Her actions then became "erratic, unpredictable and abnormal".
