The president's party has written to Maraga raising the key concern to their demand is Odunga's relationship with Siaya Senator James Orengo.
"It was recently revealed that Justice Odunga is related to Siaya Senator James Orengo [yet] the judge has presided over numerous cases where Orengo is retained as advocate," Tuju said on Tuesday.
"It has come to our attention that the judge has offered to be the only one on duty from July 30 to August 11. It is not lost on any observer that [Opposition leader] Raila Odinga, Odunga and Orengo all hail from Siaya," he added.
At a press conference, Tuju said Odunga is related to Orengo through marriage. However, Orengo has since downplayed the allegations of conflict of interest in all the cases he won while representing NASA coalition.
