Former NTV news anchor Doreen Majala has allegedly suffered a brutal assault at the hands of her husband, Gideon Mulyungi, the Member of Parliament for Mwingi Central. The incident reportedly left Majala with severe injuries, including the loss of hearing in one ear.
Sources close to the matter revealed that the assault stems from a domestic dispute. Majala, a well-known media personality and lawyer, is said to have been subjected to escalating physical and emotional abuse in her marriage, culminating in this shocking attack.
This is not the first time Mulyungi’s name has been linked to controversy. Allegations have resurfaced about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his first wife, raising serious questions about his history of violence.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation, especially amid growing government criticism of feminism and its role in addressing gender-based violence. Advocates argue that such rhetoric undermines efforts to protect victims of abuse.
Civil society groups and activists are demanding swift justice and accountability for the alleged assault. “This case highlights the urgent need for enforcement of laws protecting women from violence, regardless of the perpetrator’s status,” one activist stated.
As of now, Majala has not made a public statement, but sources close to her have indicated she is receiving medical care and considering legal action. Authorities have yet to confirm whether an investigation has been launched into the allegations against the MP.
This shocking revelation has reignited the debate on domestic violence, impunity, and the protection of women in Kenya.
