Mamake Marianne Kitany Exposes Linturi's Alleged Affair with Her Daughter ¶
Published on September 24, 2019
Senator Mithika Linturi's alleged affair with his wife's daughter has taken a new twist after the mother, Marianne Kitany, revealed that she had asked him if he truly loved her daughter or was only after her wealth.
According to Marianne, the two families had a good relationship until 2016 when her daughter started complaining that Linturi was trying to swindle her out of her wealth.
Speaking in court, Rodah Chepkoech, a witness in the divorce case, revealed that Linturi had confessed to loving Marianne and had even asked her to marry him after a meeting at a mahari payment ceremony in Nandi County.
"Baada ya kukubaliana kuhusu mahari, Marianne alihojiwa na wazee na kuulizwa iwapo alimpenda Linturi na angetaka kuolewa naye. Alikubali. Vile vile Linturi aliulizwa iwapo alimpenda binti yangu ama alikuwa na haja tu na mali yake, alisema alimpenda Marianne," Chepkoech testified.
Linturi's alleged affair with Marianne has been a subject of controversy, with many questioning the senator's intentions.
"Tulikutana na jamaa wa Linturi na kukubaliana azirejeshe hati miliki hizo kwake Marianne. Baada ya tukio hilo, binti yangu alianza kupokea vitisho kutoka kwa mumewe. Kesi hiyo iko mikononi mwa mkurugenzi wa uchunguzi wa jinai (DCI)," Chepkoech revealed.
The divorce case has been ongoing for some time, with both parties presenting their cases in court.
