Governor Ruto says ICC vindicated Kalenjin community

Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto has changed tune and lauded the International Criminal Court (ICC) for dropping the cases against Deputy President William Ruto and former radio journalist Joshua Arap Sang.

The Governor, who did not attend the thanksgiving rally hosted by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Ruto at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru, said the cases had portrayed the Kalenjin community as warmongers.

Speaking at Bomet Stadium, the Governor asked the President and his deputy to use the opportunity to unite the country.

Meanwhile, Siaya County leaders have asked the national government to turn focus into compensating the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) following the termination of Ruto’s case.

The MPs, Jakoyo Midiwo (Gem) and Omondi Muluan (Alego Usonga), accused the national government of discriminating against certain communities in compensation process.
