Ex-girlfriend wants policeman to surrender 80 per cent of his salary

A police officer's former girlfriend wants him to pay more than three quarters of his salary to maintain a child born three months after they separated.

Halima Arif wants the court to order Almas Said Mangi to pay her Sh15,000 for food and Sh3,000 for medical and other expenses per month to maintain a boy she claims he sired nine years ago. The money she is demanding comes to about Sh18,433.
