Monday, June 24, 2024 - The wife of the late Lakeview Ward MCA Karanja Mburu is admitted in hospital after she tried to take her own wife.

Karanja’s wife, Damaris, reportedly ingested poison on Sunday but was rescued by neighbours and rushed to the hospital.

Naivasha MP, Jayne Kihara, visited her in the hospital and said she has been battling depression after her business collapsed.

The house that President Ruto built for her after her husband died in an accident while still in office is being auctioned after she defaulted on loans.

Currently, she is struggling to feed and educate her kids, prompting her to attempt suicide.
