Former Attorney General Amos Wako has said Githu Muigai should take full responsibility for Anglo Leasing payments.

Mr Wako, who is the Busia Senator, said he left office after filing defence on Anglo Leasing cases.

"Prof. Githu took over office from me immediately after the filing of the defence on Anglo-Leasing cases. He should therefore bear full responsibility and stop dragging my name into this, since I had long left the office during the defence process," said Mr Wako in a statement from Geneva, Switzerland.

Mr Wako added: "He was in office and should stop diverting the attention from the reality."

The former AG said he was surprised that Mr Muigai's referred to himself as a 'mortician'.

"If I was a 'surgeon' as he has clearly indicated in his remarks, then I handed over the office of the Attorney General to a fellow surgeon to continue with the treatment of the said 'patient'. He took over the office and swore to diligently serve the people of Kenya in his capacity as the principal legal advisor to the government," said Mr Wako.

On Monday, Mr Muigai defended himself over Anglo Leasing payment and went ahead to name the firms' directors.
