Kenyan President Kenyatta says innocence of Ruto, Sang vindicated after ICC mistrial

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Tuesday his deputy William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang's innocence had been vindicated after the International Criminal Court declared a mistrial in charges they faced over post-election violence.

"It is quite unfortunate that the ICC has given Kenyans false hope, and as a result, occasioned much disappointment.

We will do everything to make it up for Kenyans where this international institution has failed them," Kenyatta said in a statement.
