Karua challenges Ruto to be truthful over why he was listed as a suspect at the International Criminal Court (ICC)
Karua challenges Ruto to be truthful over why he was listed as a suspect at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Speaking during a church service in Embakasi, Nairobi County on Sunday, March 26, Karua dismissed Ruto’s claims that he was tried at the ICC because of standing for party leader Raila Odinga whose victory was robbed in the 2007 poll.
The Azimio principal argued that Ruto, whose case was vacated by the Hague-based court, knew exactly why he, among ODM leaders was summoned to the court.
“Many leaders fought for Baba yet they were not taken to the Hague. You were summoned because of what you did so stop mentioning Raila. Even I fought for Kibaki yet I was not taken to the Hague,” Karua declared.
Karua warned Ruto against orchestrating crimes against humanity while away on his state trip to Europe ahead of the Monday demonstrations.
She chastised the Kenya Kwanza government for reportedly deploying the National Police Service to attack protestors and urged the President of State to take a leaf out of some of his peers’ books.

“Even if we decide to bring the letter to State House, why are you scared of the people if you claim you were validly elected?
“Why can’t you borrow a leaf from presidents of civilized nations? I have neither heard Emmanuel Macron nor Cyril Ramaphosa threatening demonstrators, so why are you and your agents doing so?” Karua posed.
In a bare-knuckled attack on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Karua told him never to associate himself with the Mau Mau freedom fighters.
“Freedom fighters never fought the people but for the people. If your role was to harass the commoners and even forcefully take their property, you must be a product of collaborators, the home guards,” she declared.
