Senate Video Was Edited - MP Mpuru Aburi Speaks, Demands Apology From Governor Mwangaza

Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi now says the video of him attacking Governor Kawira Mwangaza which was played at the Senate during her impeachment trial was edited.

Speaking hot on the heels of criticism from a section of Kenyans and civil society organizations, Mpuru said the video was doctored to serve the interests of the Governor.

He said he did not utter the words depicted in the video adding that he holds women in high regard and can therefore not utter such words because he has daughters and daughters-in-law.

"Mimi Mpuru Aburi nina imani na kina mama, na sahizi naenda kwa DCI kuandika statement kuhusu defamation ambayo imefanyika kwa Senate yetu ya Kenya. Ile video ilionyeshwana katika bunge ilikuwa edited. Ile maneno yote niliongea niko nayo kwa simu yangu," he said.

This translates to: "I have faith in women. I am now going to the DCI to write a statement on defamation as a result of the Senate presentation. The video shown at the Senate was edited. The real account of what transpired is in my phone".

The MP went further and demanded an apology from Governor Kawira Mwangaza for what he says is character assassination.
