Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Director of Communications Philip Etale took to social media to tell how troubled Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa distrupted ODM training meeting in Ganda, Malindi that saw one person killed.
“Aisha Jumwa is a Jubilee leaning legislator. In Ganda Ward, she has a candidate whom she has been campaigning for.
This evening, she stormed a meeting of the ODM candidate Reuben Mwamure Katana at his residence where he and other party officials were training agents as required by law. She was viscous and out of control,” he said.
Etale further revealed that during the scuffle an unknown person from Aisha Jumwa’s vehicle began firing at the crowd killing Mzee Ngumbao Jihole uncle to Mr. Mwamure.
“In the ensuing melee, someone in Hon. Jumwa’s vehicle, began firing at the people. Mwamure’s uncle’s Mzee Ngumbao Jihole was shot in the chest and died as he was being rushed to hospital. Jumwa then sped off to unknown destination,” Etale said.
Adding that,
“She was shouting and yelling at everyone on sight. Police officer whom she had sent to candidate’s home with the aid of the local OCPD started firing in the air to disperse the agents and the youths who were providing security at the home of the candidate.”
Confirming the incident, Malindi Sub-county Police Commander Phillip Wambugu stated that investigations had been launched into the matter as Jumwa denied any involvement in the scuffle.
He went on to allege that the guns shots were fired from Jumwa’s car.
