The High Court has dismissed an application seeking the extradition of lawyer Paul Gicheru to the ICC. The lawyer was to face charges of bribing witnesses at the International Criminal Court. "The application filed by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution on May 28, 2015 lacks merit and cannot stand," the judge said. Gicheru and lawyer Philip Kipkoech Bett have been fighting warrants issued by the ICC on March 10, 2015.
