The senior counsel argued that the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji usurped the powers of the attorney general in making the appointment. He also said that the professor of law from Cambridge University did not have a valid certificate of admission to practice in Kenya.

“Although the Attorney General has the discretion to do so, he has to do more than writing a letter ….it must have evidence in regards to the role of advocates,” Orengo said.

In a battle of wits, Secretary of Prosecutions Dorcus Oduor said the prosecution would apply to have lawyers Okongo Omogeni and James Orengo disqualified from the defence team because as senators, they enjoyed parliamentary privilege to question the DPP in Senate Committees which amounts to conflict of interest.

The court further directed the defence to file a formal application within 14 days. The DPP was also given a similar period to respond.
