  • MP Aisha Jumwa claimed there was a plan to have her raped
  • ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna refuted the allegations 

Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa during a campaign said she was not threatened by rape allegations that are being planned by her political nemesis.

The MP was speaking during the hotly contested Msambweni by-election, where she said she was not afraid of plans to send people to rape her.

But her claims were later used against her by ODM Secretary-General, Edwin Sifuna who dismissed the allegations.

Sifuna said he does not recognize Jumwa as an ODM MP because she had been suspended as a legislator of the party.

The secretary-general said that no one was planning on raping Ms Jumwa and further asked the MP who wanted to do the heinous act on her.
