Paul Nyathi|A Kenyan lawmaker has gone underground after he was allegedly battered by his spouse.  

The wife of the legislator is said to have been incensed after he caught him pants down making out with a maid in their city home. 

A close ally of the MP confided to Kenya’s media The Grapevine, that the wife had been suspecting that her partner was hitting on the domestic worker.

On the fateful day, she pretended to be travelling upcountry only for her to sneak back to the house after an hour through the back door catching the duo unawares. 

The politician who is nursing a black eye admitted to one of his colleagues that he could not fight back, fearing that his wife could press assault charges against him.  

For slightly over a week now, the leader has not been seen in public, including in his constituency, which he in the past visited every weekend.
