Charity Waruinu: Gospel singer given job by Kindiki warns people claiming she is barren
07th March, 2026 07:42 PM
Gospel singer Charity Waruinu, who was recently given a job by Kithure Kindiki after impressing mourners with her work during the burial of Betty Bayo, has rubbished claims circulating online that she cannot have children.
Speaking during an interview with Muhia wa Maingi on Saturday, March 7, 2026, Waruinu emotionally narrated her painful journey with pregnancy losses, revealing that she has suffered several miscarriages over the years.
According to the gospel singer, the miscarriages happened before doctors eventually discovered the medical issue that required her to be placed on strict bed rest.
“Before I realised that I needed to be given bed rest, I discovered that I had miscarried two or three times,” she said.
Waruinu explained that after repeatedly losing pregnancies, she sought help from a gynaecologist who identified the problem and took medical steps to help her carry a pregnancy safely.
“I later went to a gynaecologist who put stitches on me and advised me to stay indoors, even if I have work,” she said.
She noted that following the procedure, she had to remain at home and avoid strenuous activities in order to protect future pregnancies.
Despite the painful experiences, Waruinu emphasised that she is capable of having children and dismissed rumours suggesting otherwise.
“I think I have miscarried like five children, but I can still give birth to even ten children. I am not barren,” she said.
The singer said the losses happened at different stages of pregnancy, some during the early months and one at a very advanced stage.
“The first miscarriage happened at three months, another at four months, and another at seven months,” she explained.
According to Waruinu, most of the miscarriages occurred in the early months, but the one that happened at seven months was particularly devastating.
“Most were just after a few months, but the one that stayed the longest was seven months,” she said.
She added that she strongly believes the child she lost at seven months could have survived if circumstances at the hospital had been different.
“For the seven-month pregnancy, that child could have survived,” she said.
Waruinu, however, declined to name the hospital involved in the incident but expressed concern about how the situation was handled.
“I don’t want to mention that hospital, but I feel doctors need to always be sensitive,” she said.
She explained that when she went to the hospital expecting to give birth, the doctor assigned to her was not present.
“When I wanted to give birth, the doctor was not there. Sometimes they walk out randomly,” she said.
According to Waruinu, every expectant mother is usually assigned a specific doctor, but she had not been assigned one at the time.
“You see every doctor is assigned a woman, but I had not been assigned one,” she said.
The singer said she believes the medical team may have assumed that the child would not survive, although she personally felt the baby had a chance.
“I feel like maybe the doctor thought the child would not survive, but I felt the child would have made it,” she said.
She described the emotional pain of losing a child, saying the experience is deeply traumatic for any mother.
“You can imagine the pain of losing a child and then being told the child did not make it, and they dispose of it,” she said.
