On October 23, 2019, Malindi Member of Parliament Aisha Jumwa and her aide Charles Okuto Otieno were grilled by detectives in Malindi following a fatal shooting at the homestead of Reuben Katana, the ODM MCA elect for Ganda Ward.
The incident occurred on the eve of the Ganda Ward by-elections, and a scuffle ensued, resulting in the death of one person, Ngumbao Jola.
According to Malindi Sub County Criminal Investigations boss Julius Sunguti, 20 people have so far recorded statements in connection to the murder.
Jumwa and Okuto were released on bond by a Mombasa court and ordered to report to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations every Tuesday until their case is heard and determined.
Political leaders and civil society organizations have called for speedy investigations into the incident.
