Senior resident magistrate Vincent Adet ruled that the two would be presented before him on Thursday due to a lack of a charge sheet when Jumwa and her bodyguard were taken to court.
Adet is set to rule on whether the embattled Jumwa will be detained further after the prosecution submitted a request to have the MP remain in police custody for three weeks as investigations were being conducted.
