Person A says they believe Ruto is guilty. Person B says the accusations against him haven't been proven in a court of law. Doesn't change the fact his reputation to many is ruined even if it were to go to court and he is found not guilty because people will just whine about the law not doing its job. It happened in the ICC case where Ruto was found innocent largely because the accusers were proven to be monumental liars and know what the response from those who didn't like the outcome were?

a) Change the laws so it would be easier to convict no matter how flimsy the evidence is.

b) ICC letting Ruto off the hook is setting a dangerous precedent.
 
The point of a legit court system is to find out the truth in a legit way.

Ruto milked the ICC process to get where he is today, victims and IDP's be dammed.

Politicians worldwide always milk unfortunate situations to their advantage.

One may not like it but that's the reality of politics.

You are right. ICC Witnesses disappeared left and right.
Indeed politics is bigger than security.
IDPs will be forgotten and that is it. Moi's IDPs never went back.
Kibakis will be the same.
