- Most 37-years-old men are busy looking to make more money and have their focus set on raising their young families and putting food on the table
- But for one Robert Kathaka, his main worry is hitting his self set target of marrying 50 wives to beat his father's legacy
- Robert has 18 wives with 32 living children while expecting another by one of his many wives
Eight years after the death of king of polygamy, Ancentus Akuku, or 'Danger' as he was commonly known , Kenya has a new polygamy king , Robert Kathata.
The man from Karina village in Igembe Central, Meru is said to have 18 wives with 32 children already and still targets to marry a total of fifty wives.
You might wonder how Robert manages his 18 wives who live in harmony with each other while for many men maintaining one wife is quite an uphill climbing task.

In an exclusive interview with NAIJ.com, the proud father of 32 and expecting the 33rd child from one of his wives revealed he manages to keep his wives happily by providing what they want individually.
Kathata noted: "I must buy a piece of land for you, i must build for you a home, i can not take you t another woman’s house because that is against our traditions."

It is obvious that Kathata's manly powers alone can not satisfy all the 18 wives whom he attends to on weekly basis, of-course, some traditional herbs do sustain his bedroom affairs.
"First of all I have plans for my strength. When I approach a woman, I tell her the truth, I love you but i have other wives."
He also claims that once married to him, the satisfied women cannot leave him, this is perhaps because of the traditional herbs he uses to give him strength to sustain them.

For Kathata it is a case of ‘the apple doesn't fall far from the tree’ as he followed in the footsteps of his father who had as many wives as well
According to his fifth wife, he is a well behaved and decent man whom she is never embarrassed to be seen with.
Fridah Karemi said: "I am wife number five and we stay in harmony with each other. I was attracted to him by his behaviours, he is smart, decent and he has money.”
The herbalist has built homes for all his 18 wives, and also put up businesses for each one of them as per their liking, something they have highly praised him for.
