A witness yesterday claimed Deputy President William Ruto financed training for Kalenjin warriors in preparation for the 2007-2008 post-election violence in the Rift Valley.
The witness told the International Criminal Court (ICC) more than 300 youths were given special military training at a farm in Boronjo on the Eldoret-Kitale road a month before the elections. They were later used as trainers of more youths involved in the bloody attacks to evict members of the Kikuyu community from the Rift Valley.
