After being charged in court, the Kenyan woman who was accused of destroying her putative lover’s TV and car due to cheating claims has spoken out.

Recall that on May 17, 2023, Imelda Mwendwa Kigunda was charged in front of Kibera Principal Magistrate Renee Kitagwa. She flatly denied all the charges.

The magistrate ordered the release of the accused on a Sh100,000 cash bail or a Sh50,000 alternative cash bail.

She ordered that the matter continue on May 31 for pre-trial proceedings and additional instructions.

Taking to her Instagram on Thursday May 18, Imelda claimed she has never been married to or had any intimate relationship with the complainant, Vincent Alata. 

“In the fullness of time and with context, I will clear my name in court. I do not aspire to prosecute or defend my case in public. In the fullness of time, the truth will vindicate me,” she added. 

Meanwhile, former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, has offered to help Imelda. 

“Fellow men, you can’t punish a woman you have been chewing for breaking things when she finds you chewing another woman.” he said in a Facebook post.
