DAILY POST: Was Kenya’s youngest MP, JOHN MWIRIGI detained in Uganda over disagreement with a prostitute? , , , 03:57 Monday, 31 December 2018- John Paul Mwirigi wowed Kenyans with his humility after beating insurmountable odds to be elected Igembe South Mp and Kenya’s youngest lawmaker in the 2017 elections
However, 24-year old legislator has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons leaving many wondering if the trappings of power have taken the better of him. In May this year, he was accused of assaulting a constituent who dared question him over poor roads in the constituency. “I was going home from church I met with several vehicles and one of them, a Range Rover, stopped and I saw the MP. He called me and asked why we were demonstrating without addressing him first," the victim identified as John Gikunda said. “I told him we are suffering because of this poor road. He got angry and accused me that I’m leading a war against him. It is then that he got out of the car and held me by the neck,” “Lucky enough as we were speaking, a crowd had gathered to see mheshimiwa. So the locals intervened and that is when the MP let me go.” he added.  Another crazy rumor is circulating on social media claiming that the youthful MP was detained in Uganda after failing to pay sex over Christmas. Hon. Mwirigi has however rubbished the rumors claiming his detractors are behind the malicious allegations. He insisted that he has never even set foot in Uganda.
