Published on October 16, 2019, a shooting incident at the home of ODM candidate Reuben Katana left one person dead, sparking speculation about the identity of the shooter.
Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa's ex-lover Jeff Okuto has emerged as a prime suspect in the case. Okuto, who was recently arrested after attempting to take his own life following a breakup with Jumwa, has a history of violence and instability.
According to reports, Okuto was a personal assistant to former Nairobi Governor Dr. Evans Kidero before being dumped by Jumwa, who allegedly stole Ksh 10 million from their joint account.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of politicians and their families, particularly in the run-up to the general elections.
