State House digital communications director Dennis Itumbi now says he has proof that a meeting to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto happened.
In an affidavit seen by the Star, Itumbi on Thursday told the court that he has audio and video recording material that shows a meeting could have happened at the La Mada hotel which discussed the possibility of assassinating Ruto.
Itumbi, however, said he will not disclose his sources on grounds that he is a journalist and bound by ethics not to disclose them.
He was also told to admit he posted the letter.
“I refused to make any of the above admissions, having elected to keep quiet as allowed by the Constitution. I request to play the audio-video content in court in camera,” he said.
Itumbi opposed the application seeking to detain him for five days at the Kamkunji police station, adding that is where hard core criminals are stationed.
Milimani court magistrate Zainab Abdul ordered he be detained at Muthaiga police station.
Itumbi said his refusal to hand over the said material to the DCI is what has provoked them to apply for his detention.
While appealing to the court to take care of his personal security, life, health and well-being, Itumbi said his life is at risk as long as he remains in the hands of the investigators.
