James Mwangi, the owner of Sunshine Hotel that reportedly kicked out Laikipia Women Rep Catherene Waruguru and her husband William Kiget, has vehemently defended his decision.
Despite efforts by local leaders led by Energy CS Charles Keter and MP Nelson Koech to have the couple spend a night in the hotel, the management turned them away.
And Mr. Mwangi, says he does not care the repercussions but will always 'defend family values' at all times.
"It is against our rules for unmarried couples, a man and woman outside wedlock to sleep in one room," he said.
"Some managers have threatened to quit over the strict hotel rules but I'd rather lose clients than compromise on family morals inherited from my father," said the class six dropout.
And waruguru, who had booked Room 402 before the incident, has since asked locals to boycott the hotel as she contemplates a legal action.
Further, she insists that she is legally married to Mr. Kiget, who practices law in Laikipia.
