A request by the DPP to have witnesses in the Anglo-leasing case testify through video-link has been vehemently opposed with defence lawyers stating the application borders on perjury.
The defence is opposing video conferencing on grounds that it can only apply under “special circumstances” and that the CJ must give it a nod through a gazette notice.
Through senior counsel Ahmednasir Abullahi , the defence told a trial court in Nairobi that the supportive documentation annexed in the application were a “perjury” because what the prosecution says is divergent from the affidavits sworn by the very witnesses.
