He has denied the allegations by citing that it is not the jurisdiction of Kenyan parliament to pass legislation on another country.
He further argued that Raila is not entitled to draft a bill for parliament as he is not a Member of Parliament.
He added that the bill could not come from Raila but from the Ministry of Foreign Affair.
He stated that the area of responsibilities as AU special envoy does not include to campaign for the independence of a foreign territory.
