Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti spent Wednesday night in police cells after he was arrested over rape and assault allegation on a journalist in his private office in Nairobi.
This was after final results on tests that were to confirm allegations on him turned out positive, officials said. Police had said they had finished their probe and were set to charge him.
The investigators had asked MP Gideon Mwiti to report to Parklands police station for “further briefing on the way forward” on Wednesday evening when he was informed he was under arrest.
MP Gideon Mwiti is expected to be taken to court on Thursday. “He will be charged in court on Thursday,” said an official aware of the case.
The team comprising two officials from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions had Friday visited the scene of the crime as part of their investigations.
Apart from the woman, the team has also recorded further statements from other witnesses including a driver who ferried the woman home after the attack on March 21 and a security manager of Pizza Gardens.
MP Gideon Mwiti was also last Thursday grilled for the second time over claims he assaulted and raped a woman in his private office in Nairobi.
The fresh grilling was ordered after the DPP representatives who said the initial statement by MP Gideon Mwiti was not consistent and had gaps. A 29-year old journalist has recorded a statement with police saying MP Gideon Mwiti had forced her to take a HIV test and then raped and assaulted her in his office in Westlands last Saturday night.
