Has the For better for Worse Say lost meaning in Marriages?
Times have come when married couples no longer want to solve issues amicably with many of them preferring to use force or other dubious means to get back at each other.
Even the rich and the mighty have not been left behind in this.
For a period of time now, Meru Senator Mithika Linturi has made headlines, well, Not for proposing a Vote of No Confidence against a Cabinet secretary but for constant wrangles with his estranged wife Maryanne Keitany.
Youths yesterday stormed the palatial Runda home of former DP Ruto aide Maryanne Keitany and tried to evict her.
At first they were blocked, then they jumped over the gates and gained entry for almost five hours. Keitany and family members fled.
Keitany is locked in a battle with her estranged husband Meru Senator Mithika Linturi over ownership of home.
Keitany has filed a complaint at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, claiming Linturi had threatened to kill her.
Yesterday, the close to 30 men suspected to have been hired, arrived at the Mae Ridge home in a bus in the afternoon.
Efforts by the hired youths to throw out household goods from the palatial home were unsuccessful after Keitany blocked the gates by parking a Toyota Prado at the front gate. This stopped entry or exit of vehicles.
Security guards manning the home locked the gates. Police officers from Gigiri police station were called in as soon as the youths arrived. The youths, however, disabled the CCTV cameras at the home and gained entry by jumping over the gates.
Keitany and other family members fled from the house as the youths took charge for close to five hours.
The activities at the house attracted the attention of neighbours and workers who milled around the home.
Keitany has since obtained court orders stopping Linturi from accessing the home.
