“He came at me fast, shouting that I must respect him and accused me of having an affair with his girlfriend. Then he started beating me,” Moriasi said.
He added that the MP was accompanied by his bodyguard and another person.
Moriasi’s lawyer, Benard Atancha, questioned why the MP was not arrested despite a complaint being filed the same day at the Kisii Police Station.
“We have followed all procedures, but the police have not arrested the person who attacked my client with unknown persons in Java in Kisii Town,” said Atancha. He further expressed his concern about Moriasi’s safety, suggesting that the lawmaker may still be a threat and may want to cause more harm.
Internet users are responsible for the attack on the Kisii Member of Parliament
Some netizens joked about the age and absurdity of the fight while others speculated about the victim’s condition, questioning whether he was actually injured or whether it was staged.
Obira Job:
“Being a lover ends at 35. After that, you’re an uncle. Please, uncles, stop fighting.”
Yuvenalis Makumba:
“But I saw the victim walking freely and powerfully, paying his bill. He walked out of the restaurant without help, what happened next? Was he supported to walk, or was this done on a platform?”
Griffin:
“The MP knew CCTV footage was available, so he was reporting.”
Jepngetich Biwott:
“She’s too beautiful to be beaten that badly. I doubt the limp, though. It could be done for the stage.”
Innocent Matara:
“I’m proud of this member of parliament. Call it whatever you want, but this guy has a big heart.”
Geoffrey Nandieka:
“Did he report another victim with a broken leg? Because in this video, he’s walking fine, which makes me wonder if his leg was broken later.”
