Narrating while breaking down before the committee, Linturi said that multiple cases were filed by the woman in a bid to have him raise children that he claims were not his.
“All these cases revolve around an individual that unfortunately we were friends and for whatever reason that relationship could not hold and out of her own volition she decided to bring so many cases which I was forced to defend.”
According to Linturi, the cases were used as a witch hunt in a bid to taint his name and force him to take care of someone else’s mistakes.
“There is case number 74 where I was being sued to take responsibility for children who are not mine after the break up by the woman.”
Linturi revealed that the woman was being used by the former administration to frustrate him through numerous court cases due to his decision to support President William Ruto.
After he refused to support the then state candidate, Linturi found himself in a political witch hunt situation, something he said almost led to his mental breakdown.
