Deputy President WILLIAM RUTO told the KALENJIN community to evict KIKUYUS from Rift valley in 2007 - ICC WITNESS REVEALS

Thursday January 30, 2014 - The
tenth prosecution witness who is
testifying in the cases facing
Deputy President, William Ruto,
and his co-accused Joshua Sang on
Wednesday told the court that
Ruto uttered statements that
helped fan violence after the 2007
elections.
During his cross –examination by
tICC prosecution counsel, Regina
Weiss, the brave and composed
witness 128, told the court that
Ruto attended a rally at Kobujoi, in
Rift Valley where he allegedly told
members of the Kalenjin
community to massively vote for
ODM so that they can get a chance
to reclaim their ‘dispossessed’
land.
“I told you that Ruto asked the
Kalenjins to vote in massive
numbers and that once ODM takes
power, it was going to uproot
‘tree stumps’,” the witness told
the court.
When asked by the prosecution
what was the meaning of “tree
stumps”, the witness said the
word referred to non -Kalenjin
people who are living in the area.
He said Ruto was using his
vernacular language when talking
about the issue and the convener
of the said meeting was former
GSU commander, Samson
Cheramboss.
The former GSU commander is a
close ally of William Ruto.
The witness continues with his
testimony today………
