The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has refuted claims he ordered the arrest and questioning of High Court judges Aggrey Muchelule and Said Chitembwe. "Contrary to reports by one Eric Theuri, purportedly speaking for LSK blaming the DPP for the arrest, the DPP is not aware of circumstances which led to arrest or questioning of 2 Judges," Haji said. LSK president Nelson Havi said the arrest was intended to demoralise the judges and also undermine the judiciary. "It should not be lost to Kenyans that Justice Muchelule is one of the six judges who have not been sworn-in office," Havi said. He added, "Justice Chitembwe has been pulled into the nefarious scheme by the executive."
