President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto yesterday accused CORD of planning to take advantage of their cases at ICC to seize power in their absence. The president said even if they are attending the cases at the International Criminals Court there will be no leadership vacuum and those thinking otherwise should forget the idea. “There will be no leadership vacuum but the government is very strong and complete,” said the head of state. He warned that those who wanted to use the ICC to ascend to power should forget it since it would not happen. “There is no need going round the country warning of a power vacuum during the ICC cases. Those saying so should go home and rest for five years and come back to seek mandate from Kenyans,” he said. The President said they will defend themselves ably at the court and they will be vindicated. “We will go there, defend ourselves and those who are spreading lies will be humiliated,” he said. The President spoke during the homecoming of Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen at Iten. He also put on notice senators and governors supporting calls for a referendum and cautioned that were it not for the Jubilee government they would not have won the seats they have. Ruto asked Kenyans to pray for them as they go through the challenges at the ICC. He said they were confident that God will see them through and disappoint those who spread lies against them. “God will see us through, and those who spread the lies will be ashamed,” Ruto told the excited crowd Iten Stadium. “The Almighty God will do miracles and we will come home and continue to build the nation,” he said. Uhuru said they have spent most of his time together with the deputy preaching peace to ensure there was no repeat of what happened in 2007 during the post- election violence.
