The case in which Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti is accused of raping a woman has taken a new twist after two independent medical reports indicated there was no evidence of sexual contact between him and the accuser.

Both the DNA report from the Government Chemist and a separate report from the Nairobi Women's Hospital, where the woman alleged to have been raped by the MP was hospitalised for treatment, have indicated there was no evidence of sexual intercourse from tests conducted.
