It could be recall that the Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto is facing charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Mr Ruto denies murder, deportation and persecution charges during violence that followed the 2007 elections in which about 1,200 people were killed.

Meanwhile, his lawyers earlier wanted the case to be terminated due to a lack of evidence.

Mr Ruto is one of the most senior politicians to be tried by the ICC.
