Nominated Member of Parliament David Ole Sankok has hit out at Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) party leader for representing embattled Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu in her ongoing court case on Wednesday.
Mwilu who is facing graft allegations has since put together a huge team of lawyers which includes, among others, the former Vice President.
In an interview on Radio Jambo Wednesday evening, Sankok questioned Kalonzo's involvement in the case, terming the move suspicious.
"Inaonekana Kuna mahali pameguswa maana leo tumemwona hadi Kalonzo pia amejitokeza (it seems someone has been provoked hence Kalonzo's appearance in court)," he said.
He also questioned the heavy deployment of opposition members who double up as lawyers, terming it a hindrance to the reignited war on corruption.
Sankok urged the politicians led by Siaya Senator James Orengo to consider handing the case over to neutral lawyers.
"Sio lazima akina Orengo ndio wawe hapo. Iweje anapigania mshukiwa was ufisadi ilhali anasema anaunga mkono vita dhidi ya ufisadi ( he cannot claim to support the war on graft and defend graft suspects at the same time)," he added.
Kalonzo who was opposition leader Raila Odinga's running mate in the 2017 presidential race has not practised law for over 30 years.
