NAIROBI: An MP on Thursday caused a stir in the House when he referred to Othaya MP as "Wambui Kibaki" instead of using her proper name which is Mary Wambui Munene. In a bid to show that there were "rich women" who didn't need a special kitty to vie in elections, Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa mentioned "Wambui Kibaki" as one of the wealth women.

The oddity in Wamalwa's utterances is that he rekindled what former President Mwai Kibaki was forced to denounce at a news conference in Nairobi – that he didn't have a second wife.
