Four Kiambu MPs have denied claims that section of the Jubilee coalition aligned to President Kenyatta has abandoned Deputy President William Ruto to battle the ICC case facing him alone. 

Speaking in Githirioni, Lari Kiambu during the funeral service of Bernard Kahangara, father to area MP Mburu Kahangara, the MPs said that they will continue to call for the dropping of Ruto's case. 

The MPs included Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa, Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a, Githunguri MP Njoroge Baiya and Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu. 

"ICC is a political court and that is why we will continue to stand firm with our DP till this case is dismissed," said Ichung'wa. 

Thika MP slammed the court for allowing the prosecution to use testimonies of recanted witnesses. 

"Bensouda must know that her case is dead and should stop looking for every way to fix our DP because we won't accept," she said. 

The MPs also renewed calls for Kenya to withdraw from ICC terming it as a tool for the powerful countries against the third world nations. 

"This is a colonial court as the only leaders who are taken there are from Africa. We have to withdraw from the Rome Statute," said Njoroge Baiya.
