The High Court on Tuesday summoned Nandi governor Stephen Sang, MPs Oscar Sudi (Kapsaret) and Kimani Ichung'wa (Kikuyu) for linking Mombasa governor Hassan Joho to drug trafficking.
The three Jubilee politicians were given 15 days to appear before the High Court failure to which full proceedings against them will commence.
The three allegedly claimed that Joho’s name was in a list tabled in Parliament by the then Minister of Interior George Saitoti in 2010 from a US dossier.
The US embassy dossier had six names which the then US ambassador Michael Ranneberger had given to the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Governor Sang attacked Joho, claiming among other things, that he had "misled the country on the handshake and destroyed many youths through the drug business that he runs."
This saw Joho, through a letter by his lawyer Kelvin Ochieng, demand an apology from the Jubilee leaders within 24 hours.
The Mombasa Governor further demanded that the media pulls down articles on the allegations leveled against him.
However, the Kapsaret MP dared Joho to go to court stating; "Please go to court with your lawyers, we also have lawyers and we shall assemble them and table both the Akasha and George Saitoti reports".
Governor Joho also called on Interpol to clarify the authenticity of a controversial letter dated November 2018 claiming that he was on Interpol's most-wanted list over organised crimes and drug trafficking.
"This has caused irreparable damage and will continue to do so if there is no official confirmation from your office on the authenticity or lack thereof of the said statement and notice," Joho wrote to Interpol.
