Tigania East Member of Parliament Mpuri Aburi has said that the video evidence played by Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza defense team at the Senate was edited.
Aburi said he has faith in women and cannot make such utterances that demean their position in the society.
“The language that was used in Senate was a form of defamation because the video that was shown in the Senate was edited.
I have all the things I said in my video here, I cannot speak ill against women because I have my wife and I know the utterances that can demean them,” he said.
Further, the MP accused Mwangaza of misleading the Senate and demanded an apology from the governor.
“Let her bring her video so that I also bring my original video, the one they presented at Senate was from Baite TV and it was edited to show that I was talking ill about women,” he said.
Besides, the MP plans to record a statement with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for investigations into the video.
“I want an apology from Governor Mwangaza for lying to Kenyans and I am ready to file a statement to prove to Kenyans that she lied,” he demanded.
