Imenti Central MP implicated in rape scandal



Published on Mar 22, 2015

Imenti Central Member of Parliament, Gideon Mwiti was accused of rape by a Nairobi woman. Mwiti was said to have committed the act in his office, a charge he denied.

The woman said she had been running some businesses for him and he allegedly scheduled a night meeting where he turned on her and raped her.

Mwiti however claimed he was not with the woman on the fateful night as she claimed, but saw her between 4 and 5 PM of the said day. Police took samples from the woman for investigation.

Police are investigating Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti over claims that he brutally assaulted and raped a woman who visited him in his private office in Westlands on Saturday night.

Parklands police have received a complaint from a 29-year-old woman who is now admitted at the Nairobi Women's Hospital.

The MP admitted meeting the woman on Saturday afternoon, the day she claims to have been attacked, but vehemently denied raping or beating her up.

It is the latest in increasing cases of sexual violence, especially against women and children.

Only last week, a British paedophile was jailed after he was found guilty of preying on Kenyan boys in Gilgil where he was an aid worker for two decades. And last month, another MP was accused of sexually harassing a female member of his staff, including sending her offensive messages. The matter was later resolved out of court.

According to the 2008/2009 Demographic and Health Survey, 45 per cent of women aged 15-49 have experienced either physical or sexual violence.

And according to the Gender Violence Recovery Centre at the Nairobi Women's Hospital, at least eight to 10 cases of gender-based violence are reported to the institution every day. Most of these are rape and 65 per cent of the attacks are committed by a person known to the victim.

In the latest case, Mr Mwiti - popularly known in his constituency as Livondo - had allegedly invited the woman for a business meeting in his fifth floor office at Krishna Centre on Woodvale Groove on Saturday evening.

PYRAMID SCHEMES

The MP was a director of the Kenya Akiba Micro Finance Ltd, which was behind the pyramid schemes in which Kenyans lost millions of shillings. He runs a bar across the road from his private office.

The assault and rape allegations against him were reported at Parklands Police Station yesterday and police said they were investigating the matter.

Speaking from her bed at the Nairobi Women's Hospital, the complainant, a 29-year-old married woman, yesterday accused the legislator of beating and repeatedly raping her in his office.

"I had been meeting him since last week and my husband was aware of the meetings and the business plans we were conducting," she said.

When the Daily Nation contacted Mr Mwiti, he initially claimed that he did not know the complainant, but later acknowledged he knew her.

However, he denied the rape allegations, saying the woman could have been assaulted by other people at his bar.

"If there was a woman in the bar, how do I know?" he asked. "Probably the incident happened within my bar. However, if there was an incident like that, let it be investigated."

On further probing, he admitted that he knew the woman and had met her on Saturday, the day she said she was assaulted.

"I know her. She is doing some public relations work for me. She was in my office from 4 to 5pm," he said.

MET TWICE

The woman said she met Mr Mwiti twice last week over some projects she was to undertake for the legislator.

"I was introduced to him by my husband and it did not occur to me that he could be a rapist or someone who could harm me," she alleged.

According to her, she was in his office at about 8pm. After ushering her in, they started their discussion but Mr Mwiti started taking alcohol, she claimed.

They were four in the office, with two other men she described as the MP's aides, one Titus, who runs the bar and a Mr Mwangi. After a while, a medical doctor (a Dr Mwangi) arrived and was ushered into the office while the aides stepped outside.

Mwiti had been moving around in a police vehicle under the close watch of police officers indicating that he might not be a free man after all. His DNA samples were taken at the government chemist for comparison with those taken from the woman who accused the MP of raping her. Meanwhile, the doctor accused of forcefully testing the woman for HIV has denied the allegations.
