The European Union’s ambassador to Nairobi, Lodewijk Briet, has said that cases facing President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy President William Ruto will be dropped before December this year, for lack of evidence.
Speaking at Stanley Hotel, Nairobi, during the proceeding of Deputy President William Ruto’s trial at the ICC on Tuesday, Briet said Uhuru and Ruto’s cases may also be dismissed on technical grounds or economic diplomacy.
He said that the cases have already split the Western nations, where majority of them calling for the dismissal of the cases since they are politically castigated.
“The cases worry the West, which sees a stable Kenya as vital to regional security and the fight against militant Islam,” Briet said.
He said Uhuru and Ruto’s cases cannot be compared with Sudan’s President Omar al Bashir’s cases because the two have cooperated with the court from the beginning.
"A Bashir scenario is highly unlikely,” the envoy said adding that it is just a matter of time before the cases are dismissed on technical grounds!
