FORMER MP LEMPURKEL JAILED FOR ONE YEAR FOR SLAPPING, KICKING LEGISLATOR SARAH KORERE

Former Laikipia North Member of Parliament Mathew Lempurkel Lekidime has been sentenced to one year in prison over assault.

Lempurkel was accused of assaulting the current Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere on November 21, 2016 at Harambee House in Nairobi.

According to court papers seen by Citizen Digital, Lempurkel “willfully and unlawfully assaulted Sarah Korere by slapping her on the left cheek and kicked her on the lower abdomen thereby occasioning her actual bodily harm.”

Senior Principal Magistrate Hellen Onkwani, in her ruling, sentenced the ex-legislator without the option of a fine.

Lempurkel was in 2016 said to have assaulted Korere at the office of the late former Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery
