The surrender of Paul Gicheru on Monday to the International Criminal Court could lead to new charges against Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang. ICC terminated the case against Ruto and Sang on April 5, 2016, about a year after President Kenyatta’s, which was dropped on March 13, 2015. In 2016, the majority of the Judges of the Trial Chamber at ICC vacated the charges against Ruto and Sang. Prosecution witnesses, in this case, were subjected to intimidation, social isolation and threats to prevent them from testifying. But the ICC stated that there was no evidence that Ruto or Sang directly interfered with the witnesses.
