The ongoing parallel trial in Kenya of Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua arap Sang at public rallies and prayer meetings should stop now. It has already occasioned great damage to the rule of law in this country and internationally.
It has also caused embarrassment. It underestimates the intelligence of Kenyans who witnessed the 2007-2008 violence. It depicts Kenya as a nation that pays lip service to treaties it has ratified.
