On July 13, 2019, a scandal involving Kibwezi MP Jessica Mbalu resurfaced after a nude photo of her and a prominent politician, Henry Malonza, leaked online.
The photo, which was accidentally posted on a WhatsApp group, showed Mbalu and Malonza in a compromising position, sparking a heated debate on social media and in parliament.
According to sources, the photo was taken during a private moment between the two, and it is believed that Malonza may have sent it to Mbalu's WhatsApp group by mistake.
However, the incident has raised questions about Mbalu's morals and behavior, particularly given her previous scandal involving five MPs who allegedly took advantage of her while she was drunk.
That incident, which occurred in 2019, sparked a heated debate about Mbalu's character and whether she was fit to hold public office.
Now, with the latest scandal, Mbalu's colleagues in parliament are reportedly avoiding her due to her 'loose morals' and 'bad manners'.
