The judge said Mr Mwiti was best placed to argue his case before the trial court and he was refraining from interfering with the prosecution.
Mr Mwiti had claimed that evidence in the rape case had been tampered with and thus he may not get a fair hearing.
His lawyer, Dr John Khaminwa, had told the judge that "tampering of the evidence could deny the client a right to fair adjudication of his case."
The High Court has declined to stop Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti's prosecution in a case in which he is charged with raping a woman.
Justice Weldon Korir dismissed the politician's petition contesting the criminal case, which had been temporarily suspended by the Chief Magistrate's court.
