Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama wants lawyer Paul Muite disqualified from a case in which he is accused of illegally grabbing and selling part of the 5,000-acre Malili Ranch.

In a sworn affidavit filed in court Monday, Muthama through lawyers John Khaminwa, Haroun Ndubi, Anthony Oluoch and Kethi Kilonzo sought to have Muite disqualified from the proceedings as he was the one who recommended his prosecution.
