Marianne Kitany, wife to Meru Senator Mithika Linturi, on Wednesday, made three fresh revelations about her husband’s rogue ways, including how he used her family’s wealth to enrich himself.
Speaking at Milimani Law Courts during the divorce hearing, Kitany revealed that Linturi often took titles deeds belonging to her relatives and proceeded to charge them in various banks.
When she tried confronting him, the senator ran away from their home until her family intervened, to help them resolve the issue.
She also suspected that the senator had forged some of the titles and when she raised the point to him, he threatened her. Kitany then reported the matter to the Director of Criminal Investigations.
During her testimony, the deputy president’s former chief of staff further disclosed that she found pornographic material on Linturi’s phone which she claimed had been sent by another woman.
Kitany further added that she was in communication with one of the senator’s maids, who had told her that Linturi was philandering, but the house help passed on before they could meet.
She sought for divorce after he allegedly denied her conjugal rights.
During the court proceedings, Kitany was also allowed to play a video showing their mansions, after which she explained that she single-handedly built their Ksh100 million Runda home.
“When we were doing the design of the house, we involved all the children. Every child gave their suggestion; the girls were a bit flowery, whereas the boys were a bit subtle,” she stated.
