Raila Odinga’s Opposition team has raised fresh claims against President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration over a letter authored by a high-ranking State House official which they claim betrays Jubilee’s plot to have their leaders arrested and charged with treason.

Though the alleged recipient of the letter waved by Raila’s team at a news conference Wednesday, Solicitor General Njee Muturi denies any knowledge of it, the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leaders claimed it was a prelude to their arrest and was authored by the President's Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.
