I would have thought that as the case was being streamed live, a reporter or even the foreign news editor might have been assigned to report the case, but no such luck. In the other newspapers, it was as though the matter in the Hague had never even happened.

From Ang’urai, he will cruise to Kolanya Girls National School where the President is programmed to announce a funding programme to aid the institution’s infrastructural development agenda. Ruto’s tour comes less than a week after ODM chief Raila Odinga visited Busia.
