Eldoret Sports Club on Friday.
Eldoret North MP William Ruto and Kass FM talk show host Joshua Arap Sang were spotted in public for the first time since they were named by the International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor, Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo as among the suspected masterminds of the post-poll chaos in Kenya in early 2008.
The move seemed to contravene Mr Ocampo’s strict conditionality, that had warned that the people under investigation should not meet or contact each other.
They attended a prayer meeting convened by spiritual leaders affiliated to Emo (Kalenjin for a calling) Foundation.
According to a story appearing on The Star January 1-2, 2011 Emo "whose members are mainly from the Kalenjin community yesterday denied any involvement in 2007-08 post-election violence as 14 Kalenjin MPs revealed they are ready to mobilise a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Raila Odinga".
Following the December 30, 2007 results of a hotly-contested presidential poll results, ODM leader Raila Odinga and supporters rejected the declared victory of incumbent PNU's Mwai Kibaki, alleging it was the result of rampant rigging sparking attacks and counter attacks on civilians by rowdy young people (ODM) and police force for PNU.
The Protests degenerated into widespread bloodletting as decades of economic frustration and ethnic rivalry spiraled out of control.
More than 1,200 people were killed and some 350,000 displaced, with an equal number seeking refuge with friends or relatives.
Gangs of youths blocked roads and set fire to hundreds of homes of perceived ‘enemies’.
