MP Anthony Kibagendi Assault and Injures Kisii Man He Accuses Of Sleeping With One Of His Girlfriends

Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi has found himself in the eye of yet another storm after dramatic CCTV footage captured him assaulting a man inside a Java House outlet in Kisii on Thursday, November 27.
The video, now circulating widely, shows a calm afternoon turning chaotic after Kibagendi walked into the restaurant dressed in jungle green trousers, a black jacket and a mask.
He headed straight to a corner table where Enock Omariba Moriasi was quietly having his meal. The MP appeared agitated, pointing aggressively before the two exchanged sharp words.
Seconds later the confrontation exploded. Kibagendi kicked Moriasi in the chest then grabbed him by the neck as startled customers and staff rushed to intervene.
Even with people trying to restrain him, Kibagendi kept swinging, landing punches that dropped Moriasi to the floor.
The footage also captures the MP slapping another customer who tried to hold him back.
Only after nearly a minute of tension did the scuffle slow down. The two exchanged brief words before Kibagendi stormed out with his bodyguard and another unidentified man.
Moriasi has since reported the attack to police. He told Citizen TV that the MP confronted him over allegations of sleeping with one of his girlfriends.
Moriasi said Kibagendi approached him shouting about respect before launching into the beating. His lawyer, Benard Atancha, is questioning why no arrest has been made despite a formal complaint filed on the same day at Kisii Police Station.
The lawyer now fears the MP may target his client again.
This latest drama adds to a growing list of public outbursts involving the fiery first-term lawmaker.
Just weeks ago Parliament erupted into chaos after Kibagendi and Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale nearly came to blows during a committee session.
Their shouting match forced Chair James Nyikal to eject the MP from the meeting as the two traded accusations of corruption, intimidation and conflict of interest.
Before that, Kibagendi clashed with Kitutu Chache North MP Japheth Nyakundi at a funeral in Kisii.
The ceremony descended into a shouting and shoving contest after Kibagendi launched a political tirade that Nyakundi attempted to block.
The two pushed each other across the podium as their bodyguards struggled to separate them.
For now the big question in Kisii is why an incident captured so clearly on CCTV has not led to any immediate action.
Moriasi insists he fears for his safety.
His lawyer says the police are dragging their feet. And locals are watching keenly to see whether the outspoken MP will finally face consequences or if this too will fade into the endless fog of political impunity.
