Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>UPDATE; Thursday, June 10. Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai has ordered Coast regional police boss to launch a formal inquiry into assault allegations made against presidential aspirant Mukhisa Kituyi.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mutyambai spoke after contradicting reports on the matter – with Kituyi indicating that the matter had been resolved and the police statement withdrawn. The woman, however, alongside the police officers who received a complaint, indicated that the investigation was ongoing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Presidential aspirant Mukhisa Kituyi is facing accusations from a woman who claims he allegedly assaulted her at a five-star hotel in Mombasa last month.<\/p>\n

According to a report by People Daily, the woman had filed a report at Nyali police station under OB Number 10\/22\/05\/2021 claiming that Kituyi allegedly assaulted her for rejecting his advances.<\/p>\n

She cited that Kituyi allegedly pushed her from the bed and continuously kicked her while on the floor. This, she claimed, led to injuries sustained on her left knee.<\/p>\n

“Assault report to the station by one Diana Opemi Lutta who had submitted a report on May 22, 2021. She has been assaulted by a person known to her within Tamarind village, namely Mukhisa Kituyi whom she claims to be her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

“Police advised her to seek medical attention for further police action after she was issued with a P3 form which was later filed at the Coast General Hospital,” read part of the police report.<\/p>\n

Kituyi however, denied the accusations stating that the case had already been withdrawn.<\/p>\n

“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 We sorted out the case and it was withdrawn,” Kituyi stated.<\/p>\n

Nyali OCS Albert Chebii, however, denied that the case had been withdrawn as claimed by Kituyi.<\/p>\n

“We are still investigating the matter,” the officer stated.<\/p>\n

Chebii’s statement was reiterated by a senior police officer at the Coast region who added that had the case been withdrawn, police records would have indicated the development.<\/p>\n

“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,” the officer claimed.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that Kituyi was in the Coast region last month, popularising his Presidential campaign bid for the 2022 General elections.<\/p>\n

The former Trade minister had returned to the country from Switzerland following his resignation as the Secretary-General for United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
