Katana Jola, the father to Ganda ward by-election ODM candidate Reuben Katana, has sensationally dragged Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa to the scene of his brother's death.
On Tuesday, chaos erupted at Mzee Jola's home after Ms Jumwa stormed the compound. His younger brother Ngumbao Jola was killed on spot.
Before her arrest on Tuesday, Jumwa dismissed claims that she shot the man dead, adding that ODM was holding a meeting past campaign time.
"Campaigns ended on Monday at 6pm as per the law and once I received reports that the ODM candidate was holding an illegal meeting, I decided to go and protest why police were not doing their duty," said the combative MP.
But in an interview with the media, Mzee Jola accused Aisha Jumwa of allegedly snatching a pistol from her bodyguard before shooting his younger brother.
According to him, the bullet was aimed at Reuben Katana, who is set to contest the by-election on Thursday (today). Ms Jumwa supports Immediate former MCA Abdul Omar.
"After some few minutes, Aisha Jumwa stormed the meeting, she condemned the police for not dispersing the meeting. She snatched a pistol from the bodyguard and aimed at Katana (Reuben). The bullet missed the target at hit his uncle," he said.
While the claims cannot be substantiated, Mzee Jola could be lined up as a state witness. Jumwa will know her fate on Thursday whether or not she will take plea.
Former Taita Taveta Woman Representative Joyce Lay expressed her disgust to the incident, praying that allegations that Jumwa killed are not true.
"I have watched this video several times with disbelief. Had to reduce the sound of the TV to listen carefully. It is my prayer that this won’t turn out to be true. Though I’m afraid that’s where we are heading as women of this country. Women leaders are becoming worse than men," she said.
IEBC on Wednesday said elections will go on as planned. However, the commission condemned the incident and summoned both Katana and Abdul Omar.
