Gospel singer Karangu Muraya has publicly responded to renewed claims that he neglected his biological children, insisting that he has remained an active and supportive father throughout their lives.
The remarks came in a lengthy Facebook post shared on Saturday, June 27, in which Karangu addressed criticism that resurfaced after Father's Day celebrations. The accusations are the latest chapter in the long-running public fallout between the singer and his estranged wife, Triza Njeri, whose co-parenting disagreements have frequently played out on social media.
Karangu rejects neglect allegations
In the post, Karangu dismissed suggestions that he had abandoned his children, saying he has consistently provided for all seven of his children.

"I have been a present dad to all my kids. I will never neglect any of my children."

According to the singer, he spent most of the April school holidays with the three children he shares with Triza at his Sobibor home before family circumstances interrupted their stay.
He added that the children continue living in a house whose mortgage he says he pays every month, despite his separation from their mother. He also maintained that he continues to meet their educational needs.
Karangu further alleged that Triza instructed the children's school not to share information with him, making it difficult for him to access updates concerning them.
"Even if I am denied information about my children, I will continue paying their school fees and supporting them."
He also revealed that all seven of his children know one another, saying he formally introduced them after his family matters became public last year.

Public reaction

Karangu's post generated mixed reactions from Facebook users, with some expressing support while others urged both parents to prioritise their children's welfare.
Some of the comments included:
Mercy Wanjiru:"Children should never suffer because of disagreements between parents. I hope they find lasting peace."
James Kariuki:"If you are paying school fees and taking care of the children, continue doing your part. Time always reveals the truth."

Ann Njeri:"Please solve these matters privately for the sake of the children."
Peter Maina:"Co-parenting requires cooperation from both parents. I hope the children come first.
"Lucy Waithera:"May God grant your family healing and wisdom during this difficult season."
Triza is yet to publicly respond to Karangu's latest claims. However, she recently shared a cryptic message on social media about people joining forces against one person, leaving followers speculating whether it was directed at her estranged husband.
