Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju has accused the government of political persecution, alleging that his prosecution is linked to his political associations, including his relationship with Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Appearing before Kibera Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo, Tuju told the court that he believed he was being targeted because of his political affiliations, claiming that President William Ruto had criticised him at a political rally for associating with people he considered undesirable.
Tuju maintained that his case was politically motivated, questioning the charge that he had given false information to a public officer regarding his alleged abduction.
