Victims ICC lawyer urges Kenya to initiate Sh10bn restoration fund

President Uhuru Kenyatta has expressed his excitement over the acquittal of Deputy President William Ruto and former journalist Joshua arap Sang by the International Criminal Court.

Kenyatta says the decision was overdue as the two were innocent against accusation of facilitating post election violence after the 2007 poll.

“I am delighted that the Deputy President and Joshua Sang’s innocence has been vindicated by a decision of no-case-to answer at the ICC. This moment is long overdue but no less joyful. I join my brothers in celebrating their moment of justice,” the Head of State said from France, moments after the announcement by ICC.

All the ICC has been doing he says, is giving Kenyans false hope “and as a result, occasioned much disappointment. We will do everything to make it up for Kenyans where this international institution has failed them.”

President Kenyatta says the government will continue with the process of helping the victims get justice to ensure full healing and reconciliation as many of them still victims await justice, and perpetrators are yet to be brought to account.

“We will continue the work of healing the nation, uniting the people, reconciling communities and ensuring that justice for the victims is achieved.”
