Former State House Digital director Dennis Itumbi Monday urged a Nairobi court to acquit him of criminal charges over the fake letter alleging a plot to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto. "That the prosecution has not made out a case which the court can be interested in his defence," lawyer Katwa says. Itumbi avers that deletion of messages does not amount to reprogramming a phone as alleged in court by the state. "No credible, consistent and viable evidence and exhibits have been presented to assist, make a sufficient case for Itumbi to answer, "Katwa informed the court. In the case, the prosecution, through Anderson Gikunda, called eight witnesses to prove the charges against Itumbi and his co-accused blogger Samuel Gateri.
