ODM leader Raila Odinga's son, Raila Odinga Jr. on Wednesday, October 16, called out Aisha Jumwa for her recent political mishaps that on landed her in police custody.
Raila Jr. took to social media to express his dismay with the legislator's apparent degeneration into dishonourable politics.
"Nothing really good comes from Aisha Jumwa these days, her politics is getting murkier and personal each and every single passing day, if she is not throwing insults, she is smearing someone else in a bad way, very unfortunate!" the tweet read.
The legislator is no stranger to the world of controversy after she ditched her political mentor, Raila Odinga, in 2018 to drum up support for DP William Ruto. Jumwa is known for her eloquent Swahili and her ferocious words that have on numerous occasions left people utterly embarrassed.
In June 2019, Jumwa was kicked out of ODM and was also a subject of a summon by the parliamentary disciplinary committee over remarks she made regarding Raila.
The Malindi MP was arrested on Wednesday, October 16, at around 3 a.m. when police raided her Kakuyuni home and took her to the Kilindini Police Station.
Her arrest follows the chaos at the home of Ganda Ward ODM candidate Ruben Katana on Tuesday, October 15, that left his uncle dead.
The Malindi MP and her team stormed his home where he was meeting poll agents ahead of the by-election on Thursday, October 17.
Nation reported that Jumwa went to the Katana's home to protest against what she called an illegal meeting after Malindi Sub-County police commander Philip Wambugu delayed to act on calls to disperse the gathering.
According to the Malindi legislator, campaigns ended on Monday at 6 p.m. as per the law and once she received reports that the ODM candidate was holding a meeting, she decided to go and protest against police negligence.
ODM leaders from the region, lead by Magarini MP Michael Kingi and Kakuyuni MCA Nixon Muramba denied holding a campaign rally, stating the meeting was convened to strategise on how they would conduct the Thursday 17 mini-poll.
