DP William Ruto clashes with Bensouda over killed witness Meshack Yebei

Fatou Bensouda

THE HAGUE: The faceoff between Deputy President William Ruto and The Hague Prosecutor over an alleged witness killed in Kenya continued with the DP’s defence team claiming Ms Fatou Bensouda was aware of death threats against the deceased whom they said was their client’s “critical witness”.

Further, Ruto made a startling claim that the late Meshack Yebei, whom Bensouda had discredited claiming he could not be on the final witness list because he was found to have tried to corrupt witnesses, had been threatened by a prosecution witness.
