Mbugua left tongues wagging at the time after he hit it off with a 67-year-old Wambui Otieno.

Wambui was then a widow and Mbugua – a young, energetic and naïve mason working at the former’s construction sites.

On Monday, Mbugua, 40, wedded his lover Ann Wangari, 30, at a colourful mass wedding ceremony officiated by Bishop Harrison Ng’ang’a.

Mbugua attracted the interest on nosy journalists who had heard the wind of his wedding at the Bunyala-based Christian Foundation Fellowship in Nairobi.

He revealed that they have been living with his new catch as ‘life had to go on’ after the death of Wambui in 2011.

They now have three children with Wangari. 

“My first wedding was full of controversy after the death of my wife. As a human being, life has to continue and I am very focused with my life,” Mbugua said.

He described his affair with Wambui as ‘a decision a made deep in my heart’.
