Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, a renowned Activist, has claimed that Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola threatened him.

In an interview with Citizen TV on Wednesday, the activist disclosed that justice Lenaola threatened him on Whatsaap, presumably, because of his comments on the way the Judiciary handled the presidential petition challenging election of William Ruto as President-elect.

"Justice Lenaola threatened me and I said twende kazi na tutaenda kazi," Omtatah said in an interview with JKL.

Senator Omtatah did not disclose why the Judge allegedly threatened him.

Omtatah, however, dared the judge to bring it on saying he has started a war he loves.

He stated that it is wrong for a judge to threaten him yet he litigated before him at the Supreme Court of Kenya.
