Human activist Ken Wafula who was Executive Director at the Center of Human Rights and Democracy, died on Tuesday afternoon at St. Luke Hospital, Eldoret after suffering from a short illness.
The late Wafula was one of the key witnesses of Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Arap Sang at the ICC on their crimes against humanity during the PEV of 2007.
Even the their cases had been closed and found with no case to answer, lawyers opined that the case had just gone in a dominant stage and anyone could just rekindle it again.
In 2015, he changed his tone towards the case when Mp Moses Kuria accused of the prosecutors of having procured and caoched witnesses.
Everyone thought that I fixed Ruto and Sang. Now that Kuria had come out, the truth could finally be known,” said Mr. Wafula at the time.
Despite him having advocated for the termination of DP Ruto and and his fellow Arap Sang, he never ceased to be threatened by death messages from unknown people.
“I’m currently planning to petition the Assembly of State Parties over the same. At the same time, I am writing a letter to the United Nations Security Council, and also engaging the ICC internally through my own avenues,” Wafula told Daily Nation.
