Gitobu Imanyara emerged four days ago after days in hiding to announce to the Kenyan press that he was suing serial slapper Lucy Kibaki for attacking him at State House. Imanyara who is now also a member of parliament, says that because of Mrs Kibaki’s short stature her “slaps and blows” did not reach the tall legislator. Interestingly at one point rumors had it that Imanyara had been injured very badly from the incident that he had been hospitalized. One sensational version even said that he had died.
Imanyara also says that he had decided not to take any action because former president Mwai Kibaki called him and apologized over the incident.
This stunning admition 3 weeks after the fact begs the question as to why Imanyara chose to speak up now. He downplays his involvement and is obviously embarrassed that he was assaulted. It is also curious that the Presidential Press Service was quick to come out with a rebuttal minutes after Imanyara spoke out. It has been said that Lucy is under “lock and key” in State House after apparently shooting her own son Jimmy Kibaki on his thigh after Jimmy disagreed with his father on the current political crisis.
