The BBC declined to receive suit papers in the defamation case filed by Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula against the media house, a court heard on Thursday.

Siaya Senator James Orengo, representing Mr Wetang’ula, told the court his team had attempted to take the documents to the BBC’s offices in Nairobi and London through courier services.
