A Girl that goes by the name Winfred Wangui has come out to narrate her painful story on how Kiambu senator Mwangi Wamatangi forcefully raped her at his house in 2006 while his wife was away at work and later fired her.In an interview with Standard Media this is what the girl said;
I will never forget July 8, 2006. It was my third day at work as a househelp in the Wamatangi household. I can recall the exact time, 1.30pm, because I wanted to watch a programme on television. My boss Wamatangi came home and found his wife with me in the sitting room. He started quarrelling her, demanding to know why she didn’t go to work. I quickly stepped out of the sitting room and went to the kitchen.
I could hear them quarrel in English. I could gather that mzee was not happy. After five minutes, madam left for work, and I was left in the house with Wamatangi. He then summoned me into the living room and asked me to bring him tea. He asked me to sit down and chat. I politely refused and told him I prefer black tea since I didn’t like milk.
That was the moment he pulled me next to him and pushed me onto the sofa. I started screaming and he slapped me on the face. He then used his hand to cover my mouth. I think my screams must have attracted the neighbour next door because I heard someone knock on the door, but they soon left. He forcefully removed my panty and forced himself on me. I cried bitterly. I had never had sex. I was a virgin.
I was saved and a staunch church member. I don’t know how long it lasted, but I just lay there, in pain, and too shocked to move. When he finished, he dragged me to my feet and ordered me to wash myself. I showered as he stood by the door, looking at me, only wearing his shirt and socks. He warned me not to reveal what happened to anybody. He said he would call the police and tell them to lock me up if I dared.
How was I to know that one should never shower after a rape ordeal? I dropped out of school in class eight for lack of school fees. My father died when I was very young, and my mother is a peasant farmer. Wamatangi is a millionaire, the richest man in my village, and has connections with ‘big’ people. I was too scared.
