National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has for the first time cleared the air over his exit from the Judiciary 24 years ago when he worked as a principal magistrate.

The speaker said he resigned from the Judiciary after he was cleared of a Sh1 million bribery claim. He said he was implicated by two people known to him through the purchase of a house in Upper Hill, Nairobi, without his consent.
