The Kenyan DAILY EXPRESS has learnt that party of
action party leader Raphael Tuju has a filed for divorce in a Nairobi Court,
accusing his wife of cheating on him sometime last year.
Credible sources said Tuju found out sometime last
year about his wife’s extramarital affair the hard way.
Tuju has been confronting his wife for a couple of
months but she did not stop the vice.
He has now filed for divorce in a Nairobi Court.
Tuju is also former President Kibaki senior
advisor.
If you missed the earlier story last year,
here it is>>>>
Party of Action (POA) Presidential candidate Raphael Tuju is pleading
with police to spare his wife, Mercy, from an imminent arrest over allegations
of attempted murder and kidnapping, but police insist that he should negotiate
with the complainant to withdraw the accusations, sources said.
The development is a culmination of a “Love
Triangle” involving the Tuju’s, a former policeman, a private detective and a
woman who is Mercy’s long-time buddy. Drama started when Mercy’s female friend
introduced the former police officer to her friend “so as to assist him get
re-instated to the police force,” according to sources.

After a few meetings, a passionate affair blossomed
between the two, who began regular ‘passionate meetings’ in a hotel in
Nairobi’s South C estate. As the affair progressed, Tuju was informed about it
and immediately hired a private detective who returned with explicit photos –
confirming his paymaster’s worst fears.
Irked, Tuju confronted the wife and demanded
answers about the affair. Annoyed, Mercy began searching to establish the
person who had set her up. Her main suspect was the female friend who had introduced
the former policeman. According to a narrative pieced up by the police,
Mercy hired goons who went after her friend.
“They stabbed her at Bomb Blast Area and kidnapped
her…,” police investigators said separately but consistently during interviews conducted
by this website. The women was taken to a house in Hurlingham residential
estate and after four days there, one of the kidnappers tipped off the police
and reported the incident in exchange for immunity from prosecution should
police decide to file charges.
Police stormed the house, rescued the woman and
arrested the kidnappers. They have all recorded statements. The rescued lady
was then taken to the Nairobi Women’s Hospital, Adam Arcade Branch, where she
was treated.
Meanwhile, Tuju was then summoned and informed
about the incident. He was also told that wife would be arrested to answer to
the charges as sufficient evidence had been gathered..
In that meeting with Nairobi Provincial Criminal
Investigations Officer (PCIO) Peter Muinde present two weeks ago, Tuju was
categorical, “ Kila Mtu
aubebe msalaba wake-“ (Loosely translates to “ let everyone carry their own cross”
Police then decided to arrest her on February 20,
2012 and arguing a link to politics, he pleaded for more time. For a week,
there was no progress, until February 28, 2012, when he headed to police
headquarters to plead for assistance to settle the case away from public
limelight.
Senior police officers reminded him of his previous
position on the matter, to which he pleaded ignorance. At that point, police
told him curtly: “The only path to ending this case is by talking and agreeing
with complainant, no other way.”
Contacted, Nairobi police boss Antony Kibuchi said,
“am sorry,I don’t know this number, I cannot give information.”
Kibuchi statement was given despite an official
introduction by the caller on phone.
Various Contacts in Tuju’s campaign remained mum
over the matter.
