Cord leader Raila Odinga has sworn to sue Deputy President William Ruto on for linking him to the financial problems facing Mumias Sugar Company.
Mr Odinga through his lawyer, Paul Mwangi Mwangi argued that claims that Spectre International owes Mumias sugar money for delivered molasses was meant to stop the former Premier from raising concerns about the sugar deal signed between Kenya and Uganda.
Mr Odinga accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of signing a trade deal to allow sugar imports from Uganda in exchange for the export of milk to the neighbouring country.
The two leaders Raila and Ruto have been involved in a heated exchange since August 11 when President Kenyatta was reported to have agreed with President Museveni to remove Kenya’s non-tariff barriers against Ugandan sugar.
