Kirui regrets sacrifices he made for family
This includes timely school fee payments, maintaining a steady food supply, and providing essential household needs such as firewood and water.
However, despite his efforts, he expressed disappointment that his contributions were not enough to maintain harmony within his family.
His decision to install CCTV cameras in his home and compound, he revealed, led to painful discoveries that left him with deep regret.
While he did not elaborate on the nature of the footage, he implied that it had influenced his decision to take sole responsibility for his children.
"I beg my children to cooperate with the unplanned situation and accept me as the only parent since I can't stand this anymore," he stated.
Kirui now focusing on business
On a separate note, Kirui reassured stakeholders and clients of his organization that operations would continue as usual.
He announced that key business sectors, including clean water provision, transportation, and tree nursery projects, would proceed uninterrupted.
However, the dairy and poultry departments have been relocated, with a detailed report on the changes set to be released soon.
Kenyans took to the comments section to console the heartbroken man over the loss of his marriage.

Impact of divorce or separation on children
In his post, Kirui asked his children to bear with him and accept him as their only parent as he entered into the journey of single parenthood.
This will undoubtedly be a major change for the young kids as they adjust to being raised by one parent.
Studies have, time and again, shown that family disruptions have profound effects on children's well-being and they can affect their mental health, academic performance and general social interactions.
Research published by the National Library of Medicine showed that divorce or separation pose a risk for child and adolescent adjustment problems, and can cause them to have disruptive behaviours and a depressed mood.
The study showed that children from divorced backgrounds can also engage in risky behaviours and are likely to experience poverty.
How can divorced parents do minimise impact on children?
To emotionally and psychologically protect the children during times of family disruptions, parents can support their children in the following days:
1. Provide a stable and nurturing environment for the children to adjust to the disruption
2. Seek counselling for and with their children.
3. Have open communication.
4. Avoid involving kids in their arguments and forcing them to pick sides.
5. Rely on close family and friends for childcare especially for parents embarking on single parenthood.
