The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has approved
a murder charge against Malindi Member of Parliament Aisha Jumwa over the
killing of a man during the Ganda Ward by-election in 2019.
Last year, the vocal lawmaker was linked to a fatal
shooting at Ganda Ward, Kilifi County that led to the death of one man.
Reports indicate that Jumwa is set to undergo a mental assessment before the case commences.

"When I arrived at the event, I met a guy called Agunga who
claimed that I would not interfere with the event as the police were
around. I don’t know what the police were doing in the area. I believe ODM
had a sinister motive as the campaign period was over. ODM should be held
responsible for the death of the deceased. I would like to urge my
followers to be calm and remain in their houses.
"We don't know how the deceased died or who killed him.
Reports claim that it was my bodyguard, the police or anonymous people like the
ODM agent. We want justice for the Ganda residents," she stated at a
conference,” she said at a past interview.
