Suspended minister William Ruto, ODM chairman Henry Kosgey, radio presenter Joshua Sang, Head of Civil boss Francis Muthaura, Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Postmaster-General Hussein Ali have been ordered to The Hague over their alleged role in the post-election violence.

They will be issued with a visa that allows them to travel to the Netherlands, where the ICC is located, but not to the other European Union countries.

The suspects will be denied the Schengen visa, issued by 17 EU countries, which allows a visitor access to other countries.

The Dutch embassy First Secretary in charge of politics and press affairs, Ms Camilla Veerman, said the travel of the Ocampo Six was being coordinated between the government of Netherlands and the ICC, which imposes its own restrictions.
