Stylish city pastor Robert Burale has for the first time responded to claims by his ex-wife Rozinah Mwakideu that she dumped him because of his infidelity and the huge debts he had accrued.

In a bare-it-all interview last month with radio host Massawe Japanni, Rozinah sensationally claimed that their divorce just after a year of marriage was as a result of Pastor Burale’s infidelity.

Rozinah, who is a sister to popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu, claimed that the man of the cloth had accumulated huge debts including from her own friends.

Rozinah also claimed that there was so much that wasn’t right in their marriage, and as such she chose to end their union.

FAILED MARRIAGE

But now Pastor Burale has responded to these claims by saying that they are both to blame for their failed marriage.

“My marriage lasted for a year and two days. When a marriage is broken, everyone must have played their part in making it fail because no one is perfect,” Burale said in a recent interview with Radio Jambo.

Pastor Burale went on to state that he and ex-wife rushed things as they wedded within five months after meeting at a concert back in 2012.

“We courted for five months then got married in the same year. Everybody said we were rushing it but we were in love. We should have listened. We dated, courted, paid dowry and got married all within five months,” he said.

Since their divorce five years ago, the father of one says he has remained celibate.ster to
