Kisumu Senator Prof Anyang Nyong’o has dismissed claims that he fixed Deputy President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court.
Prof Nyong’o said the letter being purported by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria was written in regard to the deferment of the cases at the Hague based court.
He said the letter is in the public domain, and Kuria cannot use it as new evidence, pointing at how witnesses were procured to fix Ruto.
“Who does not know about the letter I wrote? The letter was against deferring the Kenyan cases and it had nothing to do with the witnesses,” he said.
Speaking to the press in Kisumu on Monday after addressing students drawn from universities in the county at the Kisumu Polytechnic College, Nyong’o said ODM party, which he was the secretary general, was opposed to deferral prompting the letter.
He said the idea was to push the cases to go on to their conclusion without any deferment to allow Kenyans to forget about the court cases and it had nothing to do with the witnesses.
The Senator asked Kuria to correctly identify those who were in the witnesses coaching exercise, and stop dragging his name into the debacle.
“I want to tell Kuria not to look for his friends who were coaching witnesses in the compound of Kisumu Senator,” he said.
Prof Nyong’o further announced that he will not obey the directive by the Director of Public Prosecution to have him write a statement over the matter.
He said he got a communication from the DPP in the press, and instead he penned an article in the same press to answer his office.
