The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has okayed a murder charge against Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa over the killing of a man during last year's Ganda Ward by-election. The ODPP on Wednesday said it's Mombasa Regional Head Alloys Kemo had approved murder and assault charges against Jumwa and Geoffrey Okuto Otieno over the fatal shooting of the man and injury of several people during the poll. The man was shot in the shoulder and killed during the chaos and several other people, including police officers, were injured. Jumwa had stormed a meeting organised by Reuben Katana, an ODM candidate in the by-election. Chaos erupted soon after the MP arrived at the meeting in a convoy of three vehicles forcing police officers to shoot in the air several times.
