MP Gideon Mwiti Held At Parklands Police Station Over Rape Allegations

Police are still waiting for DNA results after they collected the samples from the MP and the 29-year-old woman who was allegedly forced to take a HIV test before being raped by the MP.

Police have also questioned Dr David Mwangi who allegedly conducted the HIV test at the MP’s office before the sexual assault incident at the mp’s private office in Westlands on Saturday night.

The woman was admitted at the Nairobi Women’s Hospital on Monday after she was allegedly raped by the Imenti Central Member of Parliament Gideon Mwiti Irea.

BUSINESS MATTERS

The communications consultant, who works for one of Mr Mwiti’s business enterprises, the Kenya Land Sacco, claimed she had gone to meet the MP at his office to discuss business matters.

However, the meeting that was meant to take place at 2pm was delayed till 8pm because the MP allegedly had another meeting with a delegation from Meru.

When the meeting started, she was reportedly introduced to a doctor, something she didn’t find suspect till she was asked to take a HIV test.

“A doctor came in and I was introduced to him, it didn’t bother me until he said that I have to take a HIV test. I asked him why? He insisted but I refused, then he started beating me,” said the lady whose identity will remain concealed.

When Mr Mwiti’s tested negative for HIV, he allegedly demanded sex from the lady.

“I asked to go to the bathroom and tried to call my husband but they heard me so I tried texting him.”

NORMAL GENITAL TESTS

Unfortunately for the woman, her husband did not know the office she was at so he couldn’t trace her.

Her ordeal at the hands of her perpetrator went on for hours, this despite the presence of the Member of Parliament’s aides outside the door.

Hospital records show she was admitted with soft tissue injuries on the lips, cheeks, chest and abdomen.

However, results for genital tests were normal, which according to doctors is expected for a woman who has given birth.

Swabs taken were negative for spermatozoa where only a DNA test can tie the perpetrator to the crime.

Mwiti has maintained his innocence.
