Meru Senator, Mithika Linturi, has defended himself against allegations of assault by a lady on vacation in Nanyuki.
In a interview with Classic 105 Presenter Maina Kageni on Tuesday, Linturi, a vigorous devotee of Deputy President William Ruto, said he is innocent.
Linturi said the lady blaming him for assault is a blackmailer.
The troubled Senator revealed that the lady was in the company of men who stripped him naked in his hotel and asked for Sh1 million or they accuse him for rape.
Linturi said after negotiations, he raised four hundred and ninety eight thousand shillings.
He said he reported the matter to police yet the police were just ridiculing him and they sided with the woman.
The Tangatanga administrator said the rape claims were created by the ‘deep state’because of his association with DP Ruto.
