Eldoret Diocese Catholic Bishop Cornelius Korir has warned politicians to refrain from politicising Deputy President William Ruto’s ICC case.
Speaking in Eldoret on Friday, Korir said this will only raise temperatures in the country amid the delicate healing process.
He further challenged politicians who claim of their involvement in fixing the Deputy President that they should have given the information a long time ago.
“By bringing up the issue that some people fixed the Deputy President and Joshua Sang at the ICC raises tension in the country. If they knew before, why wouldn’t they handle it in a different forum and not the political way? They should have gone the legal way a long time ago before the matter got worse,” he challenged.
“Elections are not far and this is going to create division for nothing. Let them be witnesses if they want, and that way they should go to the ICC and leave the Kenyan citizens alone”, he added.
This comes as political temperature rises over claims on who fixed Ruto at the ICC from politicians from both the ruling Jubilee and the opposition .
