Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo, who owns a law firm with Ambrose Rachier, cleared his name after reports of association with the Freemasonry society.
In a statement on Monday, October 3, the revered lawyer also distanced the company the two own, Rachier & Amollo LLP, from the activities of the secret organisation.
Rachier lifted the lid on some of the high net worth membership that forms part of the movement including former chief justices as well as other wealthy movers and shakers across the country.
"Interesting times! I have seen an interview by my law firm partner Ambrose Rachier on Freemasonry! I am not and will never join Freemasonry!
"Let it be known that the law firm of Rachier & Amollo LLP is not associated with the movement!" Amollo firmly stated.
The law firm was founded in the tail-end of the 1990s as a dynamic and result oriented law firm, providing a full range of legal services to commercial and private clients.
Set up by Rachier, its goal included establishing a vibrant law firm with unequivocal under-pinnings on principles of honesty and non-exploitation of both staff and clientele.
"The firm aspires to become a pillar of efficient and un-paralleled legal practice and expertise, large enough to handle the multinational conglomerates, yet modest and caring enough to grant audience to the financially challenged, yet aggrieved members of society, whose rights have been abrogated unlawfully," reads a description of the firm.
In the interview with NTV on Sunday, October 2, Rachier explained that the team, which is sought of a high society, carries out its own rituals similar to circumcisions and weddings.
He further noted that the movement is brought together by the need of propagating charitable activities from the country's one per cent.
"We have our own ceremonies; just like weddings or cultural functions like circumcisions, where there are certain rituals that we cannot talk about publicly. We do have initiations. There is no oath-taking, but there is nothing wrong with oath-taking anyway.
"We join freemasonry to propagate charity. There are a few wealthy people in freemasonry, and there are those people who live ordinary lives like me. What I can say is that there are few politicians, if I remember. Some of them are judges of our courts," he explained.
The interview, hosted by NTV's Duncan Khaemba, led to a spin of numerous accusation with the most poignant being from embattled Lawyer Miguna Miguna who claimed that Amollo alongside other leaders were part of the movement, prompting the lawmaker to respond.
Rachier maintained that membership is dependent on invitation only and applicants must pass a series of tests.
