Comments on any court proceedings both locally or internationally are prohibited by the principle of sub-judice (they are under judicial consideration and therefore prohibited from public discussion elsewhere) and can lead to warrants of arrest, legal experts have warned.

International Criminal Court (ICC) Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji had warned Kenya politicians against commenting on the case against Deputy President Willam Ruto and his co-accused Joshua Sang.
