Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa to be Charged with Murder

Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa to be Charged with Murder

Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa is set to face a murder charge over the killing of a man during the Ganda Ward by-election in October 2019.

This comes after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji on Wednesday approved the trial of the vocal MP for murder.

The man was shot dead after MP Jumwa and his supporters stormed a meeting organized by Reuben Katana, the ODM candidate in the by-election.

Jumwa, who arrived at the meeting in a convoy of several vehicles, accused Katana of doing campaigns long after the official campaign window elapsed.

But ODM officials insisted that the meeting was meant for training of their agents ahead of the voting day. ODM’s Katana went ahead to win the highly contested by-election.

Jumwa was arrested and arraigned alongside her bodyguard and later released on Sh500,000 cash bail over the incident in which several people including police officers were wounded.

Reports indicate Jumwa will undergo a mental assessment next week before being charged with murder.

    She needs to carry her Cross but wondering where is the case of Babu Owino, who shot DJ??? The case is dying, how about Obado's?? Just to mention a few. No justice kwa mnyonge in this country, God have mercy on us. But God's wrath will be on their enermies

    Ofcourse anyone (Jumwa) with dirty blood in her hands ends up in DP Ruto’s court! Ruto have formed a cheap club of murderers across the country. You are one of the few illiterates stuck in that ugly group!

    Jumwa had to realign where killings are the norm in Ruto’s dark life! Shedding blood is why Ruto does best!

    Obado and Owino have kissed Railas butt. Their tails are tightly squeezed between their legs.
    This big mouthed stubborn woman has not. She will therefore suffer until she can calm down.
    Who has a backbone now and who would you support?
