Ruto at ICC court, The Hague

Deputy President William Ruto’s defence is scheduled to file a motion of no-case- to answer before the end of this week.

The anticipated application will determine the course of the case that has turned into a political duel between Cord and Jubilee coalitions over who fixed Ruto.

Ruto and radio presenter Joshua Sang’s defence counsel are expected to put up a spirited argument to convince judges that the prosecutor’s evidence is insufficient hence the case should end at that point.

Initially, the defence had a page limit of up to 40 pages, but requested for an extension which was granted by Trial Chamber V (a) , which allowed the defence to file in not more than 100 pages.

They were also given more time – up to October 23 within which to file the motion of no-case-to-answer instead of 14 days after the prosecutor closed her case on September 10.
