Coast politician in family feud

By Monday Blues

The wife of a prominent coast businessman and aspiring politician has alleged that the leader physically assaulted her before sending her away with their three children.

Speaking to MondayBlues from Mombasa, Zuena Swaleh claimed that Khatib Mwashetani verbally abused her before turning physical and ejecting her from the house.

She is now staying with her sister.

When MondayBlues called Mwashetan,i he vehemently denied that his wife had run away.

“Every family faces marital issues at one point or another. We had our own family problems and as a man and a leader who is in politics, I choose not to discuss details of our problems,” Mwashetani told MondayBlues.

“I can’t rule out the issue of my competitors fanning the whole thing. She is under pressure now that all eyes are on me. As a man, I will sort the mess,” he added.
