Ms Karua told Justice Joseph Sergon that Mr Kuria made the remarks in Kapsokwony, Bungoma County, on September 21, 2015, at a political meeting “disguised as a prayer rally”.
She told the court that she has never met Mr Kuria nor discussed anything to do with the procurement of fake witnesses for the International Criminal Court prosecutor.
The court will give its ruling on November 17.
