Political leaders have condemned an incident in which Kirinyaga deputy governor Peter Ndambiri was filmed after being caught with a woman in a lodge.The video which went viral on Tuesday evening has caused mixed reactions among Kenyans.Kirinyaga was also assaulted by a man believed to be the woman's husband.
Gatundu South Mp Moses Kuria has come out to defend Ndambiri, accusing cartels of blackmail.In a Facebook post, Kuria regrets the 'expose'.He said that was always nonsensical to pay anyone so as not to give a story to the media. He adds that the move breeds extortion and encourages criminal networks to thrive. He has called on the deputy governor to report to the police.
"It is a pity that the Kirinyaga DG did not immediately report such extortionists to the police. If it were me I would simply have paid them off not with money but with the middle finger," Kuria's post read in part.
Homa Bay Town Mp Kaluma has also condemned the incident saying that Ndambiri's privacy was violated.According to the ODM Mp, recording videos of two lovers making out is immorally unacceptable and goes against the right to privacy.
"Right to privacy is guaranteed by the Constitution. This idea of recording people n** and posting them is immoral and unacceptable! It hurts innocent children and shuts their sense of security for life."How do you record and publish the nudity of your own wife in such a situation of total helplessness and weakness! No one is infallible," his Facebook post read.
