KILIFI, KENYA: A nominated Jubilee senator from Mombasa County has expressed fears for her life after she claimed to have received threatening messages. Senator Ema Mbura, speaking on Tuesday during a ceremony to mark 100 years since the death of the Mijikenda freedom fighter Mekatilii Wa Menza at Bungale, said she has been receiving messages from people whom she suspected had “bad plans” for her life. She said she had reported the matter to police at the Langata Police Station and is waiting to record an official statement with them before investigations are launched. “After receiving the threatening messages, I took the matter seriously and immediately reported it to the Langata Police Station before I was issued with an OB Number 19,” she said. She told The Standard that a person in Mombasa had been given the duty to look for people who will be trailing her with an aim of either kidnaping or killing her. The MP said problem started after she stood firm to highlight some issues affecting coast people before some influential personalities felt that she was a stubborn leader.
