On Tuesday, Ruto who spoke in Nyandarua County accused some
judges of taking bribes from some cartels to sabotage government plans such as
housing levy and universal health scheme.
However addressing the press on Friday, Omtatah slammed the
Head of State for attacking the judiciary, particularly on the highly contested
Housing Levy.
“His Excellency the President has a right under the law to
be heard, and he also has a right to protest just as he has done, and he has
access to intelligence, which other Kenyans and I don’t have,” said Omtatah.
He added,” I look him straight in the eye and challenge him
to table the evidence of bribe-taking against any judge or bribe-giving he has
against any litigant and let the chips fall where they may.”
The Busia lawmaker Omtatah asked the President to apologize
to the judiciary, the petitioners against his projects and to Kenyans in
general over his remarks.
“The President should immediately take a deep breath, and
reflect on the all-important office he occupies in the Kenyan State, as our
Chief Executive, and unreservedly apologize to the judiciary,” he stated.
