Former Kilifi gubernatorial aspirant Aisha Jumwa has confessed to never killing anyone in her life.

Speaking while appearing before the National Assembly Committee on appointments on Tuesday, she told the MPs that she doesn't even own  gun.

 "I don't own a gun. I have never in my life applied for a gun. I am clear in my mind that I never shot anyone," Jumwa added.

The CS nominee for Public Service, Gender and Affirmative further revealed that she does not even know the names of guns in Kenya.

Jumwa was accused of killing 48-year-old Ngumbao Jola on October 15, 2020, when chaos broke out during the by-election.

Several other people, including police officers, were injured in the chaos.

Jumwa had been charged alongside, her aide Geoffrey Okuto with the murder of a man in the chaos that erupted during the Ganda Ward by-election.

However, on Tuesday Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Hajji  made an application, to have a murder case levelled against Jumwa settled outside court.

Hajji through Senior Assistant prosecutor, Vivian Kambuga said that the second accused person Jumwa had the desire to have the matter settled outside court considering that she was not the principal suspect in the matter.

"There are ongoing negotiations with the victim's family, to have the matter settled outside court in relation to the second suspect," she said.
