At Milimani law courts where she has filed a divorce, Kitany insisted that she was already a millionaire when she fell in love with Meru Senator Mithika Linturi.

The two are embroiled in a multi-million property saga including a house in Runda which they claim that they bought together during happy moments.

“He did not show up in Parliament because I went with him to Naivasha. That was when our relationship started. I introduced him to my siblings during dinner. From then, our love blossomed,” she said.

Ms Kitany, 44, told the court that she bought her first house soon after completing her secondary education at Alliance High School. She said she joined Kenya Commercial Bank and borrowed a loan of Sh1.2 million and purchased the house.

And after joining Kenyatta University for her first degree, she sold the house and made a profit of about Sh600,000 and bought shop and was selling to her fellow students. 

She also bought a car and was supplying eggs among other items to restaurants in Nairobi. Mr Linturi had disputed marrying Ms Kitany. 

Kitany added that Mercy Kaimenyi was not married to Linturi at the time they were engaged. She accused the senator of forging a marriage certificate.

“I had never seen any marriage certificate between Linturi and any other woman and this marriage certificate in court has been brought out of malice,” said Kitany.
