National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has addressed reports that his lawyers colluded with some Supreme Court judges during the presidential petition hearing.
Speaking during an interview on NTV, Odinga rubbished the claims and termed them as 'allegations without foundation.'
"Those are made up allegations without any foundation. It is surprising that this comes several weeks after their judgements," he said.
Odinga reiterated that there is no way his lawyers met Supreme Court judges Isaac Lenaola and Deputy CJ Philomena Mwilu, adding that the Jubilee regime was trying to intimidate the judiciary.
The NASA leader revealed that the petition filed against Chief Justice David Maraga by Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambuguwas made on behalf of President Uhuru Kenyatta as he claimed that the two (Ngunjiri and Kenyatta) boarded the sameplane to Nyeri on that day.
"These allegations (that NASA lawyers met Supreme Court judges), are made on behalf of Kenyatta. He should respect the independence of the judiciary," added Odinga.
