The DPP has ordered investigations into all individuals implicated in the procuring of “false witnesses” in the ICC case against DP William Ruto.
Keriako Tobiko ordered “speedy and thorough” investigations on Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who made the allegations, and several other leaders.
The leaders are Cord’s Raila odinga, Narc Kenya’s Martha Karua and Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o.
“Obstruction of justice and fabrication of evidence are grave offences against the administration of justice,” Tobiko said in his directive to IG Joseph Boinnet.
In a letter on Thursday, he asked Boinnet to forward the file to his office for further direction once investigations are completed.
This comes hours after Karua, who denied the allegations, filed a defamation suit against Kuria, whom she wants compelled to compensate her for damaging her reputation.
She also wants the MP barred from linking her to the case and issuing comments about her, pending the determination of the case.
Kuria made the allegations at a prayer rally for Ruto in Kapsokwony, Bungoma county, saying he was part of a group that bought witnesses after the 2007-08 post-election violence.
