By CS Linturi Gets Green Light To Evict MP Marianne Kitany From Runda Home
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi has been given the go-ahead to remove his ex-wife, and current Aldai Member of Parliament, Marianne Kitany from his posh Runda home.
This is after High Court Judge Maureen Odero threw out Kitany’s petition seeking to continue staying at the residence.
Kitany applied to challenge an earlier judgment issued by Chief Magistrate Heston Nyagah that ordered her immediate removal from the house on the grounds that she was not legally Linturi’s spouse.
While making the ruling, Justice Odero noted that she was not in a position to cede to Kitany’s request to suspend the order since the Court of Appeal had already dismissed the same application.
Linturi Set To Kick Out Kitany
The once rosy relationship between Linturi and Kitany turned rocky in December 2017 after Kitany held suspicions of Linturi’s infidelity.
“Initially it was cheating and just like other women I would sneak into his phone. I became suspicious of his moves because he would come home later, doesn’t want to give me my conjugal rights and he would be quarreling,” said Kitany during a previous court session.
Kitany, who said she met Linturi in 2013 while working at the then Deputy President William Ruto’s office, claimed that the former Meru Senator contracted multiple marriages with her and a third party referred to as Mercy Kaimenyi.
“I was at the time being the Deputy President’s Chief of Staff and having connection to the Deputy President, the Defendant rode on the wave of being my spouse to rise politically and position himself as a Senator in 2017 from his then position as MP in 2013 where he had been for two terms,” Kitany previously told the court.
