The next few months will bring a twist to the whole trial in the Hague against Mr Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr William Ruto, the two men supposed to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
Information expected to be released will expose the manipulations carried out in order to succeed to have them face the Confirmation of Charges Hearing that took place last year.
The information is so embarrassing that it will cause difficulty for the prosecution to carry on with the case. They will have to ask the court to free them.
Some members of the prosecution who are privy to the information are now very troubled, knowing that the deal once out in the open will expose impunity within their ranks.
They officials privy to the information that will set the two men free are also well aware that they may end up in jail for playing along.
When Kenyatta’s and Ruto’s cases fall due to the manipulated information, Mr Francis Muthaura and Mr Joshua Sang will become free men as well.

Updated 29.4.2013:
Francis Muthaura’s case fell early this year. Now three Kenyans out of 6 from the start of the case remain. These are President Kenyatta and Deputy President Ruto, together with Radio journalist Mr Sang.
ICC has problems. Witnesses withdrawing and now The Belgium Judge withdraws from the case while at the same time accusing the prosecution of shoddy investigation.
These Kenya cases will go nowhere.
End
