"I managed to report the matter at Hardy Police Station. I fear for my life because he always threatened me that I really don’t know who he is. This assault is not the first or second time. I did it to protect my home and his anger condition," she stated.
In a separate post, she confirmed that she was away from the MP after seeking treatment in a hospital in parklands.
"Am somewhere in Kileleshwa now for I don’t know of my safety. Being locked up in the bedroom to be beaten is horrifying," she stated.
In a post on Facebook, she revealed that the legislator's anger issues had led to him assaulting a house help and a chef in their Mwingi home.
"The other day, he assaulted our house girl in our Mwingi home by slapping her and using his mkwaju stick on her, he also slapped our chef one old Mr Kangangi who took the matter to the police," she revealed.
