Mithika Linturi’s ex wife Maryanne Keitany has officially joined the dirty world of politics months after separating with the husband.
While speaking to a local radio station, Maryanne Keitany made it clear that she will be vying for the Aldai Constituency parliamentary race in 2022.
Asked what motivated her to join the murky world of politics, Maryanne Keitany claimed that she has always been driven with passion to serve the people.
The controversial Kitany who worked as a chief of staff at Deputy President William Ruto’s office was recently dealt a blow against the case that involved her estranged husband Senator Linturi after being ordered to pay city law firm Sh1 million in legal fees.
The court ordered Keitany to pay the amount to Triple-A Law LLP for filing a case against her husband, Meru Senator Mithika Linturi.
The woman however opposed the demand, arguing that she had not given the law firm any written, oral, or given instructions to file the lawsuit.
According to her, she only learnt that the advocates had filed the suit when they sent her a fee note against the case which was lodged at the Milimani Law Courts in 2018.
The law firm was demanding Sh4,651,926, but the amount was reduced to Sh1,171,926 by the deputy registrar.
The advocates then began the process of enforcing the payment of the amount but Kitany maintained her ground that she did not owe them any money.
In her objection to paying the amount, Keitany urged Justice David Majanja to find that the advocates had failed to prove that she had instructed to file the case.
But Justice David maintained that according to section 51(2) of the Advocates Act, once a Certificate of Costs is issued, it is final and conclusive.
“Although the client disputes the retainer, that issue has been determined by the deputy registrar.
It can only be reviewed by filing a reference and since no reference has been filed, the Certificate of Costs is now final and conclusive within the meaning of section 51(2) of the Advocates Act,” said the Judge.
The Meru Senator Mithika Linturi and the ex wife Maryanne Keitany were involved in a property case after the latter’s case asked the court to determine whether the collateral submitted by Senator Linturi to Family Bank to secure a loan was valid.
