Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria stated that he, along with politician Martha Karua, procured witnesses to testify against Deputy President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
At a public rally on Sunday, Kuria claimed, "It was all about competition and I am ready to testify at the Hague." Karua, a former Presidential candidate and member of Parliament for Gichugu, was unavailable for comment.
Ruto and his co-accused, journalist Joshua arap Sang, face charges of crimes against humanity at the ICC for their alleged involvement in the 2007-08 post-election violence.
The case, which is nearing completion, recently saw prosecutor Fatou Bensouda confirm that she had exhausted her list of witnesses.
Kuria's statements may impact Kenya's political landscape, particularly among Ruto's allies who feel the government is not doing enough to address what they believe are "trumped-up charges" against the Deputy President.
This development adds to Kuria's history of controversy, including past accusations of hate speech.
Others who faced charges at the ICC alongside Ruto and Sang include President Uhuru Kenyatta, former public servants Mohammed Hussein Ali and Francis Muthaura, and Henry Kosgei, though their charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
