The two senators sat in the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee where Mr Qureshi’s appointment was discussed.
Mr Haji claims that the two senators also asked him questions during the December 5 sitting.
Mrs Mwilu has challenged Mr Qureshi’s presence in the suit, arguing that he is not qualified to practice in Kenya.
Senators James Orengo and Okong’o Omogeni fought dirty by failing to disclose to the High Court that they had questioned the appointment of senior British lawyer Khawar Qureshi during a Senate Committee sitting, Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji has claimed.
Mr Haji, in seeking to bar the two senators from defending Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, argues that they should have at least informed the High Court of their involvement in the committee proceedings.
