Newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries Mwangi Kiunjuri (Devolution) and Charles Keter (Energy) are at The Hague to show support for DP William Ruto.

The two travelled to the Netherlands on Monday morning

with Ruto, whose lawyers are presenting oral arguments on a no-case-to-answer motion.

Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang are facing crimes against humanity charges in connection to the 2007/8 post-poll violence at

the International Criminal Court.

Kiunjuri is former Laikipia MP and assistant minister in former President Mwai Kibaki's regime while Keter was Kericho Senator.

They were

appointed in December, 2015 after President Uhuru Kenyatta reshuffled his cabinet to help the Jubilee Administration deliver on its agenda.

Uhuru brought in more politicians to his Cabinet after promising Kenyans that "only Ruto and myself will be politicians in this government".

Also at The Hague are four North Rift Governors - Cleophas Lagat (Nandi), Alex Tolgos (Elgeyo Marakwet), Jackson Mandago (Uasin Gishu) and Mwangi Wairia (Muranga).

The Governors have been under pressure from Jubilee to support Ruto by attending prayer meetings and other forums on his ICC case.

Ruto was seen of at the JKIA by more than 40 MPs led by National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale and the Senate's Kithure

Kindiki.
