National Super Alliance lawyer James Orengo has denied meeting Supreme Court judges who annulled President Uhuru's Kenyatta's August 8 re-election.

Mr Orengo, who is said to have met Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and Justice Isaac Lenaola, accused unnamed individuals of plotting to tarnish his name.

Speaking in Naivasha, the Siaya senator termed the claims scandalous.

"I have never approached a judge in court or in their chambers to seek favours. Thus, the petition against the judges over these claims should be treated with the contempt it deserves."

He said the only judges he knew personally were Njoki Ndung'u, Jackton Ojwang and Mohammed Ibrahim, who he met either in school or in the course of their work.

"I would not recognise Justice Mwilu if I met her in the streets without her robes," he said.
