Bahati and Mochez Models CEO Dorothy Oliech have filed complaints against Lugari MP Ayub Savula whom they accuse of assaulting them.
The two claim the Lugari MP assaulted them aboard Jambo Jet flight from Kisumu to Nairobi on Sunday night December 13th.
According to Dorothy Oliech, the assault happened after Savula started winking at her and another passenger identified as Caroline Idah seated next to her.
“I was flying back to Nairobi when I was attacked by MP Ayub Savula. The onset of all this is, he was winking to a lady seated next to me in a drunken state.
This behavior was totally unacceptable to us and he was requested to stop, after which he started abusing me, my mother, and father,” said Dorothy Oliech in a post on social media.
Bahati said the Lugari MP, who was seated next to him on the plane, attacked him while he was recording his confrontation with Dorothy and the other woman.
“I sat right next to him. After he started shouting at the ladies (Dorothy and a friend), the whole plane was in panic mood. Even a prominent politician who was on the flight with us tried to ask him to calm down,” Bahati said in his statement to the police.

Jambo Jet management alerted police who took the Lugari MP to the station when the plane landed in Nairobi. He was released late in the night after questioning.
“It is true that the matter involving the MP and other passengers was reportedly immediately by the pilot as that is how flights handle security matters. Upon touchdown, security details at JKIA Terminal 4 took charge of the matter and it is now squarely in their hands,” JamboJet’s Communications manager Titus Ombongi said.
