Uhuru, Ruto ICC case was a conspiracy by the West, says Aden Duale

"The ICC case was a factor of who will become the president which was sponsored by the United Kingdom. This is because in 2007 the Western powers and international players like Kofi Annan believed that Odinga had won the election and had promised to support him in 2013."

At that time, Odinga was Kenya's Prime Minister, which made it easy for him to control everything in government, Duale averred.

He further revealed that they had threatened former President Uhuru that the Western government will block all the imports from his own backyard, Central Kenya, should he run for the presidency.

In 2012, Uhuru and Ruto were charged with orchestrating several crimes against humanity in the 2007 and 2008 post-election violence.

Uhuru and Ruto's cases were dropped in 2014 and 2016 respectively after ICC prosecutors said that the cases were rushed without conducting proper investigations.
