MP Mpuru Aburi records statement with DCI over Governor Kawira Mwangaza Senate video

Tigania East Member of Parliament Mpuru Aburi on Wednesday availed himself at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters to record a statement regarding a video allegedly depicting him verbally assaulting Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

In the video, which was played before the Senate last week during the impeachment hearing of the under-fire Governor, Aburi reportedly slammed Mwangaza for not siring any children with her husband.  

Speaking to journalists after recording the statement, Aburi insisted that the video had been altered to cast him in negative light and to evoke emotions from the Senate, which later absolved Mwangaza of the seven allegations lodged against her by Meru MCAs.

"Ile mambo yote ilikuwa edited, hakuna mambo ya ukweli; kulia kwake alikuwa analia ndio wamama wasikie uchungu wapige kura," he said.

"Tunamsubiri Mwangaza akuje aandike statement na akuwe na evidence. Hatufuati evidence iko nje, tunafuata ile iko Senate ambayo Kenyans waliona ndio tumekuja nayo hapa."

He added that despite the Senate's ruling, Meru legislators are not ready to hand an olive branch over to Mwangaza, who seems to have lost the support of the county assembly.

"Sioni maskizano yoyote kati ya viongozi wa Meru na Kawira Mwangaza kwa sababu alipoachiliwa juzi walienda katika kanisa yake bwana yake akaanza kupiga wimbo ya matusi na tuko nayo kwa simu yetu," he said.

"That means huyu ni mtu ambaye ata Mwenyezi Mungu amemkataa; lugha yake na mdomo yake ni mbaya na ndivo Wakenya wajue huyu ni mtu mbaya, ndipo tuko hapa siku ya leo kuandika statement."
