Aisha Jumwa has blamed Opposition chief Raila Odinga for her woes shortly after she was arraigned in court for being the mastermind behind the death of an ODM supporter.
The legislator who was arrested alongside four others has repeatedly linked Mr Odinga to the death of a male adult. “Opposition supporters started pelting stones as usual forcing officers to fire in the air to disperse them. In the confrontation my enemies took an advantage to end a life and frame me for the heinous act.
Raila Odinga and his people are not being fair at all to Kenyans and they must pay for this instead of sacrificing an innocent woman” Jumwa said. Meanwhile, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Tuesday summoned ODM Chairman John Mbadi over violence in the Kibra by-elections over the weekend.
The violence reportedly targeted Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga’s supporters. In his complaint to IEBC, Mariga claims the violent scenes witnessed in one of his rallies on Saturday was a culmination of a series of well-calculated, planned and executed violence against his supporters. Mbadi is now required to file the party’s response to the accusations within the next 24 hours and appear at the IEBC headquarters on Friday.
The statement from IEBC said that should Mbadi fail to file a response and enter an appearance within the time mentioned, the complaint will be heard and determined in his absence. During the last Saturday incident, Mariga was forced to flee after his campaign convoy was pelted with stones.
