The large convoy of vehicles and police outriders which escorted Deputy President William Ruto during his first outing at the Hague were actually taxis that had been hired by the embassy.
At least that is what Kenyans
resident in that city say. They were
unimpressed by the huge show saying the vehicles can be hired by anyone who wishes it and can afford to pay for the service. “As for
the outriders, even my children when they are doing charity in the neighborhood, are always
escorted by such outriders. It doesn’t mean anything!” the Kenyan said.
Talking of putting up a show the MPs who were at the Hague previous week put up quite a show with one of them reported to have vowed not to come back home till he gets to attend a reggae concert by Gyptian.
The prosecution is treating Ruto as any other suspect with no special privileges given. The luxury of getting police escort to and from court is nothing but a dream for the DP.
He follows the traffic like any other citizen,no convoy but the car that carry him. All these are under the arrangements of the Kenyan ambassador.
The president will soon travel to the Hague and will receive the same treatment. The show that is often put up of the glamorous convoy from the airport to and from the courts building as it emerges are never from the Holland government but hired by the ambassador from various security firms.
