The President's clarification comes on the heels of the acquittal of former Treasury CS Henry Rotich on Thursday, December 14. During a media interview, President Ruto remarked on the Kimwarer case, labeling it a political ploy and reiterating his commitment to steering clear of politically motivated prosecutions. "Under my administration, there is nobody who will be prosecuted because of politics or because they are not aligned to this way and that way," President Ruto affirmed. President Ruto clarified that the negotiations with the Italian president focused on dropping contractual cases filed in London, emphasizing that it had no bearing on the local criminal case against former CS Rotich. The cases in Kenya were criminal, while the arbitration cases were contractual," President Ruto explained.
