The claims by Irungu come after it emerged that he has been transferred to Kamiti Maximum Prison.

Responding to the claims, prosecutor Catherine Mwaniki said her office would investigate the matter and report their findings to the court.

Justice Wakiaga directed that Irungu be taken to KNH on Tuesday but an officer from Kamiti Maximum Prison said he will have to be taken on Wednesday as they had not booked for transport.
