Onika Beckles, the Presiding Officer who has accused presidential advisor Odinga Lumumba of physically assaulting her, has made a report to police, while he maintains that it was an accident.

When contacted yesterday afternoon, Beckles said she was still traumatized after the Elections Day incident and was giving the police a statement about what had transpired. She explained that she obtained a medical certificate from the Georgetown Hospital which shows that she sustained trauma to her back as a result of being pushed into a grill door.

She added that this was handed over to the police and that she will be meeting with her lawyer, Nigel Hughes, today as
