The ICC case is the most dread nightmare that we all never want to wake up from.It ended and forgave each other.However there are reports that there is a possibility to revive the case against Deputy President William Ruto.
According to one of the former ICC witness William Rono apparently there is an elaborate plan by some ‘powerful individuals’ to revive the case in a bid to stop the DP from vying for Presidency come 2022.
Mr Rono has now identified Cheranganyi MP Joshua Kutuny as one of those working with State House operatives and ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to revive the case against Ruto before 2022.
However, Kutuny dismissed the allegation and said it was a “desperate fight back by cartels involved in the maize and fertilizer
scandals”.
In hios defence he added saying, “Let them pay farmers and deal with the issues we raised. Such claims on ICC issues are just but tears from the cartels who are feeling the heat for frustrating farmers and stealing from the NCPB.”
While speaking to the journalist Mr.Rono said, “I am among three former witnesses approached by Kutuny and Harambee House operatives to go back to ICC and fix the DP over claims of witness tampering.”
In addition,“As former witnesses, we have rejected that plan and that is why Kutuny and his colleagues have been coming up with all manner of claims against the DP,” he said.
He also said, the maize was also apart of the issue to undercut Ruto’s presidential ambitions in 2022.
Rono said the ICC witnesses would give more details on the scheme to fix DP Ruto at the international court.
Kutuny and his colleagues have, however, threatened to spill more details on the maize and fertiliser scandals. “We did not come out on this matter just for the sake of it, but we know what is happening and we have full details which we will give at the right time,” Kutuny, the Cherangany MP, said.
They spoke as DP Ruto’s allies led by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and his Soy counterpart Caleb Kostany defended the DP and termed Keter’s team as ‘political hirelings’.
Keter said, “It’s these people around the DP who have messed up with farmers affairs and we will reveal them.”
He said the crisis in the maize sector was not a simple matter.
“We want the investigations agencies to follow up on this matter and tell Kenyans the truth. They have details on companies like Koilel Ltd and we need to know,” Tiren said.
The MPs said the cartels involved in the maize scams had crippled NCPB operations.
