Opposition leader Raila Odinga scored big on Monday when he released a statement revealing the names behind Deputy President William Ruto’s ICC woes.
Raila, who is in South Korea, was forced to clear the air over his involvement on the Ruto and Sang cases. Pressure from Parliament Majority leader Aden Duale and Kithure Kindiki forced the former Prime Minister to write a lengthy explanation why he has never bothered defending Ruto at the Hague.Raila claims that he has always been willing to testify at the ICC in favour of his former ally but TNA always erect a fence between the two whenever he makes a move.
The CORD leader stated that President Uhuru Kenyatta has the key to Ruto’s freedom but he’s not in a hurry to set his Deputy free. He argues that since Ruto was on his side in 2007, it’s obvious PNU did what they know best to fix the DP.
However, he indicates that he’s more than willing to be Ruto’s witness at the ICC but with strict conditions. One of the conditions he gave is for Uhuru to fire Ruto’s fixers who are still holding offices despite their names featuring prominently in many forums, even Ruto’s lawyer Karim Khan has indicated that the people Raila named were solely responsible for the mess Ruto he is in.
In his statement, Raila named the following as Ruto’s fixers:
1. Dvid Murathe
2. Kamotho Waiganjo
3. Michael Gichangi
4. Mutea Iringo
5. Nancy Gitau
6. Moses Kuria
7. Njenga Mwangi
