Kenya: Five Opposition leaders have denied defaming Deputy President William Ruto through statements linking him to the 134.4-acre Karen land saga.
Senators Johnstone Muthama (Machakos), James Orengo (Siaya), Boni Khalwale (Kakamega), Elizabeth Ongoro (nominated) and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed said their remarks do not constitute defamation but fair comment. They added that the Deputy President was allegedly part of the scheme to grab the Sh8 billion land.
