On August 15, 2019, detectives arrested Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula minutes after his arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Conference Centre from Hong Kong, where he had been attending the International Corruption conference.
Wetangula's arrest came after a recording surfaced, in which he invoked the names of President Uhuru Kenyatta, CS Fred Matiang'i, and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Deputy President William Ruto responded to the allegations, urging opposition leaders to refrain from dragging the head of state's name through the mud.
"I tell our brothers in the opposition not to import their bad habits to Jubilee; they should shun engaging in dirty deals, corruption and conning others," Ruto said in a statement.
