A Priest who claimed to have solemnized the relationship between Mithika Linturi and Mercy Kaimenyi appeared flaky and oblivious after a long string of tough questions in court.
In line with a particular Standard publication, on Wednesday, October 9, Jackson Micheni defended Linturi conveying that the senator was already married therefore it would be impossible and faulty to solemnize the relationship between him and Marianne Kitany.

"I officiated a Christian marriage between Mithika Linturi and Mercy Kaimenyi, who were young then, on April 8, 2000, at the Tigania Parish. It was a true marriage between Linturi and Kaimenyi. As you can see, I have also aged a bit since then," Micheni responded to a wedding video that was played in court.
When the marriage certificate of Linturi and Kaimenyi surfaced in court, however, lawyer Cliff Ombeta and Danstan Omari defended Kitany by exposing the priest.

The two lawyers saw this as the opportune time to point out opaque affirmations coming from the priest. It was revealed that he never produced his practicing license in court. Also, his signature was not present in the marriage certificate he claimed to have witnessed being signed.

The court further disclosed that one of the listed witnesses did not sign the marriage certificate.
Notably, Linturi and Kitany clashed over Mercy Kaimenyi divorce papers. Kitany would proceed to claim in court that the DCI officials had approved the papers.
