Reportedly, Doreen Gatwiri Majala is about to be the latest entrant into the list of millionaires as she’s set to receive Ksh3million from her estranged husband, Mwingi Central MP, Gideon Mulyungi, for battering her.
Bwana Gideon Mulyungi reached out to her and asked to negotiate an out of court settlement.
According to reports , the MP, through his lawyer, Erick Masese, offered a one-off financial compensation to avoid the possibility of a custodial sentence, should he be found guilty.
Were Bwana Mulyungi found guilty, his seat would be in jeopardy as a guilty verdict would earn him a two-year jail term, which would automatically cause the MP to lose his seat in the National Assembly.
Doreen, through her lawyer, Cliff Ombetta, reportedly agreed to withdraw the case once the amount is paid in full.
However, the divorce case in which Majala describes the controversial MP as “a man with an unforgivable temper” still stands and is set to proceed.
It is alleged that the MP assaulted Majala on the night of February 25, 2018, at their Karen home.
Majala came out to the public on the assault, that left her nursing head injuries, through social media, claiming that her life was in danger.
“Writing this with a lot of fear. My life is in danger. This evening at about 9.50pm, my husband, Mwingi Central Member of Parliament, Gideon Mulyungi, assaulted me at our Karen home and I sustained head injuries at the back of my ear, resulting to my left ear going numb,”
Majala claimed that Mulyungi locked her up in the bedroom after the beating.
She also revealed that it was not the first incident that the Mwingi legislator had clobbered her.
I reached Doreen for a statement on the matter and this is what she told me:The matter is still in court so I cannot comment on that but what I can say is that the information circulating is not true.
