Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has spoken after an explosive statement by his ex-wife Lilian Ng’ang’a on Thursday, 4th November.
Mutua who is currently in Boston borrowed Max Ehrmann’s poem ‘Desiderata’ to address the drama surrounding their separation.
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.” By Desiderata.
“Enjoying an early morning sun basking in Boston. Early morning run in New York. It was 5 degrees Celsius,” Mutua wrote on his Instagram account.
Governor Mutua’s message comes just hours after Lillian Ng’ang’a claimed that her life is in danger.
Ms Ng’ang’a said that Mutua has threatened to deal with her and people close to her after their separation.
Speaking during a press conference accompanied by lawyer Phillip Murgor on Thursday, 4th November, Ng’ang’a said that Mutua is demanding all the money he has ever given to her.
“…Mutua angrily termed me as his enemy No 1. and threatened to “crush me to ash”, as he takes away everything I have and own. Indeed, this has already started as he has demanded that I refund any money he has ever given to me or made available for my use,” she said.
Ng’ang’a further revealed that the Mutua had already started re-possessing her assets.
She stated that on September 8, 2021, Mutua accompanied by his police bodyguard stormed her apartment in Kileleshwa, and took away her personal car and transferred its ownership to another person.
She also accused Mutua of fraudulently taking away her shares in properties that they jointly owned when they were together.
“Mr Mutua recently and illegally transferred my shares in the Ndash Enterprises LTD (the hotel company) to his sister Ann Mbandi Mutua. Again, a clear act of fraud. At no point did I execute a transfer of my shares or otherwise transfer my shareholding in the company to him, let alone his sister,” said Ng’ang’a.
“Mr. Mutua has gone further to falsely accused me of abusing drugs and that am being used by Governor Kibwana (Who is Alfred’s uncle) and He Kalanzo Musyoka to bring him down politically – which is complete nonsense, as I have never interacted with the two gentlemen at a personal level.
Ng’ang’a appealed to the Inspector General of Police and the Director of Public Prosecution, to expedite the investigation and charge Mr Mutua for the serious crimes he has so far committed before her and friends and harmed.
