Citizen TV's Willis Raburu has come under fire for allegedly revealing the identity of the ICC witness 536 who testified yesterday against the Deputy President William Ruto and former radio journalist Joshua arap Sang at The Hague.
Raburu is said to have done this through his twitter account which has a huge following.
This act made the social media go wild about the witness story with everybody posting what he/she thought about the whole story.
However, quite a handful of individuals have sided with Raburu defending that he wasn't the responsible for string of tweets that eventually revealed the identity of the witness but the originator, Davis K. Lagat who only has just but a few followers.
Willis Raburu, a public figure is blamed for having mentioned the name of the ICC witness 536, keeping in mind that many people would believe him than they would Mr. Lagat.
Willis' act is being taken as contempt of court since him being a journalist knows pretty well that he wasn't supposed to even take part in that conversation that finally led to the identity of the witness in
question being known to the public.
This act will for obvious reasons put the life of the witness in jeopardy.
Below is the conversation on twitter that is said to have led to the identification of ICC witness 536
Willis has since denied these allegations.
