Late lawyer Paul Gicheru was facing six counts of bribery and interfering with justice in the ICC's case against President William Ruto and journalist Joshua Arap Sang.

After the court ruled that both Ruto and Joshua had no case to answer, an arrest warrant had been  issued to Gicheru earlier for offences against administration of justice.

Gicheru later surrendered to the ICC in 2020 as a personal decision to honour the arrest warrant.
