Tigania East Member of Parliament Mpuru Aburi is now demanding an apology from Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza over a video clip that was played at the Senate during her impeachment hearing.

MP Aburi, in the video, was captured verbally attacking Governor Mwangaza for not having children with her current husband.

The lawmaker is heard making a charged address while rubbing a stick between his palms as spoke in the Meru vernacular language.

Asked by her advocate to tell the Senate what the MP was saying, Governor Mwangaza said:

"He is saying he has given me 9 months to be pregnant and if that is not done. He will do it via what he is holding," the county boss stated before shedding tears.

The legislator is now accusing the Meru County boss of editing the video to suit her claim, adding that he is heading to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to write a statement and call for investigations.

MP Aburi says he values has a lot of respect for the female gender, further that he has never said anything to demean them in any way.

The legislator stated he has the whole footage of what he said and will present it to the DCI to aid in their probe.

“Nataka apology kutoka kwa Governor wetu wa Meru County kwamba aliambia Wakenya uwongo. Niko tayari kuenda kuandika statement, alete video, mimi niko na video yangu ya maneno niliongea…ile yao ilikuwa imekatwakatwa kuonyesha ya kwamba Mpuru amekuwa akivuruga kina Mama,” he stated.

MP Aburi spoke on Friday as Governor Mwangaza returned home a triumphant woman having survived the second bid to remove her from office by impeachment in just under a year.
