DECISION ON THE RUTO DEFENCE APPLICATION TO VARY COURT SITTING SCHEDULE Today, Trial Chamber V (a) has rejected the Defence for Mr William Samoei Ruto’s request to vary the hearings schedule in order for the chamber to sit two weeks on and two weeks off beginning from the start of trial (scheduled 10 September 2013), and until further notice. Trial Chamber V (a) confirms that it will sit on a daily basis from 10 September to 4 October 2013 and from 14 October to 1 November 2013. The Chamber will issue further sitting schedules in due course. The Chamber stressed the significance of advancing as much as possible in the case of Mr Ruto and Mr Sang, before constraints related to other cases affect the schedule, noting that there may be a need to modify the sitting schedule in the present case once the trial in the Kenyatta case commences.
