International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, is destined for difficult times in the case against Deputy President  William Ruto.

The prosecution, in what appears to be incidental admission that the evidence in their possession may not be sufficient to secure a conviction against the DP, has now filed a fresh application asking the chambers to allow her use prior statements from the six witnesses who had been declared hostile, as a part of her evidence against Ruto.
