Presidential Aspirant Mukhisa Kituyi Accused of Assaulting a Woman at a Mombasa Hotel

Presidential Aspirant Mukhisa Kituyi Accused of Assaulting a Woman at a Mombasa Hotel

A woman has filed a police complaint accusing 2022 presidential aspirant Mukhisa Kituyi of assaulting her.

The former United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTD) secretary-general is alleged to have battered the lady at a five-star hotel in Mombasa last month, People Daily reports.

In a report filed at Nyali Police Station, the complainant claims that Kituyi dragged her out of bed and kicked her repeatedly while on the floor after she turned down his advances.

The woman allegedly suffered knee injuries and was treated at Coast General Hospital.

When contacted for comment on the matter, Kituyi denied the reports and insisted that he has never laid his hands on a woman.

“Someone had written a report claiming I had assaulted her but it was not true. I’ve never beaten any woman in my life nor do I intend to ever do it at any given time. We sorted out the case and it was withdrawn,” he said.

But Nyali OCS Albert Chebii said the case has not been withdrawn and investigations are ongoing.

A senior officer privy to the case said, “Once a complainant withdraws a matter at the station level, the withdrawal should be entered in the OB and a withdrawal statement signed by the complainant indicating he or she does not intend to proceed with the matter which is not the case in this matter.”

Kituyi, who resigned from UNCTD in February to run for president in 2022, toured Mombasa in May to popularize his bid.

He served as the Minister of Trade during retired President Mwai Kibaki’s administration.

    Not agood start on a campaign trail. Mukisa's response is abit nebulous. I think he is trying to do damage control...The woman complained of being assaulted,and his response is that,"we sorted out the case and it was withdrawn."Well, it appears that some altercation occurred somehow.
    Is he hanging with that over grown teenager,Atwoli?Its shameful that their lives seem to revolve around acquiring women.

    The two are high profile Luyhas. They are frolicking on the beach in Mombasa at the same time. Atwoli is rumored to have married a young Somali woman there. Mukisa,is kicking and punching his supposed girl friend... Given this backdrop, its reasonable to assume they may be hanging together as birds of the same feathers. It's just aquestion.You seem to be bothered by it.Are you one of them...?

    The massage here is about Mukisa and not Atwoli @maxiley. Where did Atwoli all of a sudden come from in this matter? LiveAtwoli out of mukisa’s issues!

    Don't worry about @Maxiley. All he does is Talk unSubstances on and on, and on.

    So @maxiley just got Mukisa and Atwoli all mixed up! Really folks love to hate my good friend Atwoli for nothing. I love Mr Atwoli! The man speaks his mind and he is very kind!

    ..looks like somting was cooking... But then... I think this is where Shaffie Weru would ask... these women who get to the point of climbing to bed with a man... unless they were dragged or drugged into that room, what were they expected? Ama Ruto alituma huyu msichana....🤔🤔

    @Just me, this woman is supposedly a girl friend.Being such, I would think that their "sleeping" routine is pretty laid out.And if she had a headache,should'nt the fellow leave her alone?I mean to sleep peacefully...What say you?
    Believe it, I have slept with women on my be without any hankpanking going around.I belive a NO,is a NO, whether from a girl friend or a new conquest.
    We dont know what transpired in that room.Its now about SHE says He says.
    My concern is that, as a presidential aspirant, dont give your opponents ammunition to tarnish your name.
