Investigations to confirm the veracity of a letter detailing an alleged attempt to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto are ongoing, a Nairobi court heard Tuesday. Lead investigator Isaac Ruto told chief magistrate Martha Mutuku that the letter was fake but they are still probing the matter. Asked what in particular they are investigating, Ruto was unable to give a conclusive answer. The court also heard that no meeting took place at la Mada Hotel where the question of Ruto’s assassination is alleged to have been raised. Isaac said they never bothered to check with the management of the hotel whether such a meeting took place.
