A widow has filed a suit in court asking for damages from Mathira MP Peter Weru whose vehicle was involved in an accident that led to the death of her husband.
The widow identified as Milliam Wairimu by The Standard wants the legislator to pay her general and special damages incurred following the demise of her husband.
Wairimu filed the suit at a court in Nyeri saying that both vehicles involved in the accident were being driven carelessly.
She also wants the owner of the vehicle in which her husband was travelling in to be held accountable.
The accident is reported to have occured last year.
Explaining the reasons behind the suit, Wairimu said that her late husband was the sole provider for the family and since his death they have been struggling to make ends meet.
She says paying school fees for her two children, one in university the other in high school had become especially hard.
She added that the situation has been made harder as a result of her unemployed status.
