The Deputy President William Ruto And His Co-accused Joshua Arap Sang to Know Their Fate On April 5 At The Hague.

The ICC will on April 5 deliver a verdict on a no case to answer motion filed by Deputy President William Ruto.

The Trial Chamber has ordered Ruto and his co-accused former journalist Joshua Sang to be physically present in court when it delivers the verdict.

A statement on Tuesday said the verdict will be delivered at 3.30pm Hague time.

Ruto and his supporters anxiously await the verdict that may bring to an end a case weakened by witness withdrawal.

Elgeyo Marakwet Kipchumba Murkomen posted on Twitter his hope for a positive verdict.

"By God's grace, April 5 will be our last trip to The Hague," he wrote.

The DP and Sang are fighting for an acquittal without having to go through the laborious process of presenting their defence.

In a 95-page no-case-to-answer motion, Ruto said the witnesses used to confirm his charges never took the stand, leaving the prosecution with a “case built almost entirely on hearsay”.

Through lead counsel Karim Khan, the DP said there was no evidence that he bankrolled the 2007/8 post-election violence and accused the ICC of failing to thoroughly investigate Kenyan cases.
