President William Ruto has thrown a jab at Opposition leader Raila Odinga over his visit to Shakahola forest.
The President said Raila had no business going to the exhumation site as it was labelled as a crime scene.
"Raila is neither a doctor, police officer nor did he go to assist in the exhumation of the bodies, the only people who are needed at the site are the experts who will help in the exercise," he said.
Ruto said he has no business going there as he is giving the people involved ample time to do their work best.
"Once the experts in the field have finished their work, we will go, I have sent everyone there to look at things, once the exercise is done I will go to Malindi," he said.

The opposition chief was blocked from accessing the forest with the operation commander asking him to seek permission from the Inspector General.
“I want to access the forest so that I can be able to see the graves, I can't travel all the way and go back without seeing the scene,” Raila said.
The commander however said that the area has been declared a crime scene and allowing him through could interfere with the ongoing investigations.
“No one is allowed in the forest because the [investigation] process is delicate,” Peter Ndung’u, the senior assistant inspector general of police said.
