Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has challenged President William Ruto to table evidence to support his claims on corrupt judges.
Omtatah described the President’s remarks as a “most unfortunate, reckless, misguided and unconstitutional”, adding that it would be a “grave matter” in case Ruto lacks evidence to support the allegations.
Omtatah says he has not bribed any judge in the cases he filed in court challenging new government policies stating that he is not aware of any bribed judge, adding that he is not so morally deprived that he can do so.
Omtatah also asked the President to apologise to the judiciary, to the petitioners against his projects and to Kenyans in general.
“The President should immediately take a deep breath, and reflect on the all-important office he occupies in the Kenyan State, as our Chief Executive, and unreservedly apologise to the judiciary,” the Senator said.
“He should also seek forgiveness from the diligent public-spirited Kenyans and institutions that have challenged his pet projects in court, and to the general public.”
