Dr Sam Thenya Faces Paternity Claim from Alleged Long-Lost Son

Dr Sam Thenya, the founder of Nairobi Women's Hospital, has been approached by a man claiming to be his long-lost son. The man reportedly visited Dr Thenya's office and was subsequently asked to leave but later wrote a letter requesting a DNA test to confirm their relationship.

The man, who claims to have been searching for his father for thirty years, has stirred public interest by pleading for a DNA test. The situation has sparked discussions, particularly given Dr Thenya's public persona.

Dr Sam Thenya is well-known in Kenya as the founder of Nairobi Women's Hospital, an institution that has played a significant role in providing healthcare services to women across the country. He is also recognized for his contributions to the healthcare sector in Kenya.

The claim comes amidst public conversations about paternity and family dynamics, topics that have been prevalent in Kenyan media. The involvement of Anita Gaitho, possibly as a commentator or related figure, adds another layer of intrigue, given her own public profile as a media personality.
