Gilgil Member of Parliament Martha Wangari has separated with her husband of five years over his 'cheating and abusive' character.
Speaking to the Standard, the Jubilee MP said she opted to risk being ridiculed and judged by the public rather than ending up dead.
She said her now ex-husband, Peter Karanja (PK) has been abusive and numerously embarrassed her in public. She says he also took another woman and moved into a house she had single-handedly built.
“I have receipts for every construction material used in the house. I bought everything and built the house. He kicked me out of the house and has placed pictures of other women in the house. I can’t even get my personal effects out of the house,” she intimated.
He also impregnated Ms Wangari’s personal secretary and neglected the family. “He started dating my secretary behind my back and had a baby with her. Her child and my child were born four months apart. If I asked him about such a disrespectful thing as sleeping with and impregnating my secretary he would turn abusive,” she continued.
“He tracked my phone and followed me as I was meeting some other women leaders. He dragged me out of the meeting, beat me up and then tried to run over me with a Mercedes car. The irony is that the car is the one I had bought him,” the MP recounts.
She said the estranged husband is now attempting to sell her properties, after cashing out some of her cars.
“It’s better to leave the marriage than die,” she concluded.
Martha was elected as Gilgil MP in the August 8th,2017 election, after previously serving as TNA nominated senator between 2013-17.

Run run and do not look behind.
What a greedy and disrespectful bull. It's good you have come out public. It is a deterrent and now he will cow and not kill you. Pathetic SOB PK.
There is always another side to the story
Agreed @Mbingu. Her life is more valuable than all the material things she leaves behind. That PK guy is really full of it (POS), but his arrogance may be his downfall. Vitu Vichenganga! I tell you.
why do some men treat their women like kids.if you dont trust her dont be with her.does not make sense to track your woman.if she really wants to cheat on you your tracking wont work.
Lady,you did the right thing to get away but if you had "stood your ground",and cut his transformer,the two batteries included iwould not blame you.that would have certainly guaranteed no other picadillos with secretaries.
Dada Wangari. Congratulations! I urge you to take your ex-husband to Maraga (chief justice) and he will not repeat what he did to you to another woman.
Wacha kuambudu Maraga Kefa.Labda yeye ndie hutomba Wangari
Nice move for going public. I wish all abused women can learn from you.
What took you so long? This is pure evil. But thank heavens you got out in time.
Hehehehe one of the leaders I admire but having married for over 10 yrs I will b carefully to take sides.But beating up someone not good at all.When I hear this Idiot PK side then I can comment fully!Guys did u hear what the mpig is stating,” I bot this I build this he has nothing,it’s all mine”.Those Guys Who r babysitted by wives yaani she does everything ati juu anakupenda Please b careful coz when it gets this way all women do is take their materials things.Buts it’s a big shame if it’s true this dude has even replaced photos of the mp with another woman!But as I said only the two lovebirds knows very well about their issues.Us we can only comment here n there but for those pple who have bin married for a while they know marriages goes thru shit n many hide it for various reasons.
I forgot to say how I came across Kenyan women in states who were schooled by men graduated as nurses n they all abused their men who supported them heavily wakiwa shule but when they were called RNs n LPns they started treating this men like trash n this was going on the entire USA states.Very few women who treated their men with respects after graduating.
@Mkenya halisi, I fail to understand how a man can educate a woman/wife and not educate himself. That is the dumbest thing a dude can do.
Kenya, I have wondered about that too.Would I educate my future wife so that she could help me bring home a bigger becon? Sure I would.But that would only happen if Iam financially very strong.I would also consider it a " scholarship".There is no guarantee your marriage will be successful ,especially now days.So dont peg your future on her to the exclusivity of denying your self an education.
I think this habit of education one's potential wife was based on the belief that she will always be family,just like one education their own children. Of couse not parents, specifically tell their kids that, Iam schooling you so that you will take care of me in my old age...its kind of understood,or expected.But girl friend not being awife yet,those expectations should not be there.
In fact a "smart woman" would tell you to make a contract regardless of the relationship.Just to avoid too much expectations and avoid misunderstandings. That's why I said, I would educate,but not expect anything back.Iwould make me happy just to see her succeed as a person.
@Maxiley, Most people works here. Why can't these bongolala let their wives/girl friends pay for their school fees. You can help once in a while but let her pay for her school fees. I call them bongolala because you cannot depend on somebody to support you even your children. Save for your retirement otherwise they will throw you in Genesis or Manor Care if you have no retirement benefits
Kenya, if the "gringo" volunteers to pay, he assumes the risk,and hopes for the reward.Its a gamble.And if the potential girl asks,then make it aloan. But if you are already married as you know, its " communal property".Your money is hers...
I have witnessed two cases where the CNA hazi worked doubles to educate wife-to-be" and then things went kaboom. In one case the girl eloped with another guy immediately after graduation, in the other marriage broke in less than 2 years. Big lesson - NEVER EVER spend your hard earned money this way at all. Even paying dowry nowadays is a very stupid idea
Kula tano MLACHAKE, for as long as I can remember, I have been an opponent of' Slavery'.Buying and selling of people under the guise of dowry.This tradition may have been productive,and relevant at one point in past time.Not any more.Another tradition that does not make sense to me is weddings.People spend so much for a party called "wedding". This kind of spending does not enhance the welfare of the two marrying parties,in any way.In fact its a drain on their finances.
Those who have read my posts here know Iam a fervent supporter of come-we stay-.And I have warned that this union is not for every body.Especially those who are influenced by the two big religions.
They say marriage is hard. And I ask,why enter the union willingly, then complain.Or try to eliminate your spouse?Why cannot you willingly "check out" just as you entered.Count your losses and move on...
What is wrong with help your wife get more education? Only a insecure man would worry about this. If a couple are married and love each other, it does not matter who gets what education. If by helping my wife, our lives and standard of living gets better, why not? What about the men that are helped by their women financially to up their education? If it gets to the point of my money is mine and yours is ours, then there is reason to sit down and discuss your marriage.
@Taratifu. My point is those men who do not go to school and do not have any college degree or any form of training. Anything can happened that include divorce or death of your wife. If your wife dies you will not be able to pay the bills if you do not have a good paying job. You can do madoubles only when you are young but when you get older the body will say no. Love does not means you become a bongolala. Be finantialy stable that whatever life might throw you will be able to handle it alone
On point 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
@Mkenya Halisi:And alot of those graduated RNs and LPNs who mistreated their HUSBANDS after the material fact have been divorced, and believe it or not many of these women are today cooking alot of chapati, to woo some of these kenyan men back to their "QUARTERS".
Some uncultured men are so so insecure that they go to lots of length to "cut-to-size" their women through abuse, cheating and tracking every move. Some of these hubbies are immature in spirit, mind and heart. They camouflage their weaknesses and inferiority in sweet talks, tough talks, borrowed confidence, etiquette clothing and conviving networks. Martha, that is what makes you a leader; refuse to be trampled upon and empower other women facing these societal ills. It is only after securing you freedom you can secure the freedom of others. Keeping appearance and putting up with an abusive partner is the worst injustice you can perpetuate on yourself. Keep moving and Do not look back Martha; lest you be reduced to a modern day 'pillar of salt'.
I am wondering when Uhuru or Railas names will come up in the comments .. somehow its either uhuru or raila's fault
@Maxiely has hit the nail on its head?Talking the reality yaani ukweli mtupu.I have always advocated for contracts marriages when u meet a beautiful responsible lady n u sit n agree Wr only having 1/2/3 kids together,u share the bills half n half,u educated yrself,u invest yrself.Then after those years u sit n see if u can renew yr contract or divorce n in the contract it should even talk about kids!Everything must b legal signed by lawyers n both parents should b aware of the kinda of life ur leaving together?
Why rush to conclude and condemn Karanja without his side of story?Tafadhari tungoje Karanja ajibu.Most of these women MPs are just elected to satisfy their male counterparts sexual hunger/lust.Maybe the husband has caught her cheating with other men na nyinyi muanze kuluka luka kama wanawake wenye joto.
Men who beat women are cowards and will run away when confronted by a man half their size. There is no excuse for hitting a woman be it your grandmother, mother,sister, aunt,cousin,daughter or wife. Shame on any man who does that...it shows how inadequate you are as a man. Keep your hands of women and you will be respected!
Upusi!!! Kwani amekuwa mkatili na mhanyaji wakati huu umechaguliwa MP? Mbona hukumuwacha kitambo. Ukweli ni kwamba umepata pesa nyingi na wanaume wapya hukaingiwa na kiburi na umalaya. Remember what goes round comes around.
I was cheated on by my spouse too may times, too many late nights and too many lies. I couldn't take more of it, i needed proof so bad, so i hired on of the best on the market, rootgatehacks. You can google them for more info
GOOD MOVE Ms. MP AND GOOD LUCK.
