A court has barred Meru Senator Mithika Linturi from accessing his palatial Runda estate home, as his domestic dispute with his wife, Maryanne Keitany, escalates.
Ms Keitany, a former chief of staff in Deputy President William Ruto’s office, was granted orders stopping Mr Linturi from even going near the home in Mae Ridge, Runda.
Senior Resident Magistrate Isaac Orenge on October 25 granted Ms Keitany “exclusive occupation of the shared residence being Mae Ridge Country Villas house number 16, erected on LR No. 7785/1324 and use of the facilities associated therewith by excluding the respondent from the said residence.”
The order also prevents him from making any type of contact, physical and even telephone conversations with Ms Keitany unless he is given permission.
Attempts to serve the senator with the order have been fraught with challenges with claims that he has refused to receive the same.
The senator and his wife have been in the news for some weeks now after Ms Keitany accused him of physical abuse and threatening her with a gun during an argument.
