Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa’s confrontation with ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna continue’s to elicit various reactions from different quarters.
During the burial of Mombasa Deputy Governor Dr. William Kingi’s father, Aisha Jumwa barred Mr. Sifuna from concluding his speech after he accused him of engaging in Politics yet people were mourning.
Aisha grabbed the Mic from Sifuna and told him to respect the Mijikenda People. She also asked him to find another platform to address ODM issues and not at a funeral ceremony.
One of the people who witnessed this whole drama was Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi who has now given his thoughts on the same.
Governor Kingi has asked Aisha Jumwa to find “good and acceptable” ways to deal with her unending troubles with ODM instead of embarrasing herself in public.
Kingi was speaking in Kibarani during the burial of Mr Justuce Mwanyanje, who was the father of Kilifi Woman Representative Getrude Mbeyu.
Kingi told Aisha Jumwa that due to her bitterness, she embarrased herself in Public.
But Governor Kingi criticised Ms Jumwa, saying she embarrassed herself in public due to bitterness.
The Governor would later asked Aisha to cool down her temper and that whatever she was trying to engage in with ODM will not help her.
“Aisha, you need to cool your temper. We know you are bitter but there are proper ways of dealing with [the problem] and getting good results. What you are currently doing won’t help,” he told the Malindi MP.
Meanwhile, a section on Kilifi MPs have stood with Aisha Jumwa following her actions.
MPs Owen Baya (Kilifi North) and Michael Kingi (Magarini), who spoke earlier, said her actions resulted from the need to respect the Mijikenda community.
