Kilifi County Women Representative Asha Jumwa looks on as Governor Amason Kingi addresses journalists at the governor's official residence in Kilifi. [File, Standard]Deputy President William Ruto was yesterday forced to defuse tension between supporters of Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa and those of Governor Amason Kingi-led Pamoja Africa Alliance (PAA). This is time to discuss economic issues of concern to the people of Kilifi County and not a campaign forum. I’ll come back to do politics,” he said as UDA supporters tried to dominate the forum cheering Ms Jumwa. Before Ruto arrived at the venue in the company of the PAA party leader and Kilifi governor, Ms Jumwa had announced that she had organised the meeting.
