Ruto moves to clear name in poll chaos report

• Lady Justice Roselyn Wendo certifies the application urgent and allowed Mr Kigen to institute proceedings with a view of quashing the report.

KNHCR made presentations before the Justice Philip Waki-led commission which presented its findings to Mr Kofi Annan.
The Waki report forms part evidence to be further investigated by the International Criminal Court.

In his suit, Mr Ruto says that the commission never sought his response before publishing the report.

He said the implication was reckless as it was not based on any reasonable evidential material and that it was oppressive and unfair.

He denies the allegations made saying that he was instead during the post-election period, involved in asking people to maintain calm and shun violence.

“At all material times, the applicant addressed public rallies where he appealed toe Kenyans to maintain calm and shun the said violence,” he says in a sworn statement.

He cites case in the report where he has been accused of holding rallies allegedly inciting Kenyans. Some of the rallies were held in Kipkelion, Kericho and in the larger Kericho district and Sugoi, Turbo and Burnt Forest in the larger Uasin Gishu district.
