The woman’s version of events as told to the Nation was that the MP had asked her to go to his office to discuss a job on a Saturday evening; that he had ordered alcohol to be brought to the office and had started drinking; and that he had called a doctor to conduct an HIV test on her.
Mr Mwiti denies the allegations. Although the victim’s tale has remained the same since the day she first told it to journalists and police, the MP’s account has morphed.
In March, a woman arrived at the Nairobi Women’s Hospital with a horrifying tale. She said that an MP had lured her into his office, beaten her up, forced her to take an HIV test and raped her.
She was promptly booked into a ward and was put on treatment for assault. The accused was Mr Gideon Mwiti, the MP for Imenti Central. The woman was a communication practitioner he had hired for a publicity job.
