DPP recommends assault charges for Odinga Lumumba
The Director of Public Prosecutions has recommended that Presidential Adviser Odinga Lumumba be charged for the alleged assault of presiding officer Onika Beckles on Elections Day.
Lumumba is likely to appear in court this week.
Beckles was allegedly forced to call in the police on November 28 at an Aubrey Barker Road Polling Station after Lumumba allegedly verbally abused her and also shoved her against a wall.
It is alleged that the PPP party candidate also grabbed the camera phone from an Electoral Assistance Bureau (EAB) observer who was recording the altercation and threw it to the floor destroying it in the process.
He subsequently apologized to the elections observer and later replaced the phone with an explanation that he was angry at the time.
