Corazon Kwamboka’s father: My daughter’s fame tore the family apart

A man claiming to be socialite Corazon Kwamboka’s father has alleged that his daughter's fame tore his family apart. Osmond Sambu Okero told The Nairobian in a past interview that his family abandoned him in Siaya town after he exhausted his savings and resources to pay school fees and other bills.

“Trouble began when my daughter started being featured in newspapers and branded a socialite. I had 10 children, unfortunately, two died, and Kwamboka is the first born. She was born and bred in Kibos, Kisumu. I took her to Lwak Secondary School in Siaya. She was a very bright girl; who passed all her exams and was admitted to study law at the University of Nairobi,” says Sambu,  an accountant turned teacher. 

He adds that in 2011, a friend informed him about his daughter’s pictures doing the rounds online.

“When I called my daughter, she said they were shots from a modeling job. I was so disappointed that she was half-dressed and I couldn’t believe that it was my daughter parading her body for all to see,” says Sambu who allegedly advised Kwamboka to focus on her education.

“You know children make mistakes, and as a parent, you forgive and guide them so that they become responsible adults. She promised to stop, only for more pictures to emerge and thereafter, she was rolling in money,” says Sambu.

According to Sambu his first born son persuaded his mother and they got back together as a family in 2012 but they parted ways again and Sambu relocated to Kisii. 

Sambu wishes that, “My very bright girl could stop this socialite thing and practise law. She can be an amazing lawyer. I also realize she is over 18 and can’t make career choices for her. I pray for her every day.”
