Joel Kyatha Mbaluka
The police seem to be closing ranks as they look into on how city lawyer Joel Kyatha Mbaluka was allegedly arrested on allegations of defiling his house help and his only daughter.
The lawyer who is attached to Mbaluka and CO. Advocates with his offices located near City Hall has now become a dangerous man to deal with.
According to our investigations, Kyatha, who was previously a director at a state regulatory board, took five of his 11 children for a medical checkup on Tuesday evening at the MP Shah hospital.
The reports indicate that the controversial advocate requested that three of the kids; a boy and two girls undergo HIV and gonorrhea tests.
Doctors, as is required, asked Kyatha if he had reported the defilement cases to the authorities. He apparently could not give believable answers, prompting the medics to call the cops on him. Parklands Police officers were there in minutes, considering the proximity to the health facility.
While being examined, the boy, who is adopted, told the doctor that their “uncle” on various occasions defiled them. Kyatha, who is also notorious for forging court documents, was placed under arrest. The matter, we understand, is being handled by the police
According to Gigiri OCPD Richard Muguai, the suspect is in their custody and will soon be taken to court. “The matter has been taken over by the DCI headquarters. The only thing we are doing so far is having the suspect within our custody,” Mr Muguai told the daily, adding that this is a sensitive matter.
The advocate could face life imprisonment.
The victims were quickly treated at a city hospital and were taken to the Anti-Human Trafficking Child Protection Unit in South B.
