Siaya High Court Judge Esther Macharia has affirmed that she will not be persuaded by bribes to give an unfair verdict in the election petition challenging the re-election of Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga.
Maina has vowed that dire consequences will befall whoever attempts to pull a bribe card to influence the verdict.
"I have information that either the petitioner or the respondent have connived with their advocates to influence the outcome of this case. I will not fall into their traps," said Justice Maina.
“I will not receive money from either you or your lawyers,” she added.
The hearing was adjourned to Monday, November 20.
