Good. Let us have ACC and leave ICC to deal with western criminals. We should manage our own criminals the best way we know how. The beef I have with ICC is that it's key donors who are not saints either, are not party to the statutes. I don't view it from a racist angle. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

First, I think you are confusing the moral responsibility and legal responsibility, Mwai and RAO could be morally responsible from the fact that the 4 were working for them, but unless they directed the four to commit the crimes they are alleged to have committed, MWai and RAO cannot be legally responsible for those crimes committed by the 4. Assuming that Mwai and RAO is guilty just because the accussed worked for them is just a stretch if not outright lack of knowhow, Criminal responsibility is different from civil responsibility. ICC is a criminal court not a civil court.
Secondly, It is a little laughable when we have to use an opinion by one judge to make a conclusion it actually shows the deficits we have when it come to independent thinking, infact there is a disconnect between using the word, "one judge,"..... and "something is really wrong," How can something be really wrong when one judge out of more than 2 disagree??????Really?
Lastly, I don't have a problem if you call me what you think I am (naive) and you shouldn't have a problem if I call you what I think you are and that is F***ing idiot, Ooops excuse my language.
1. Did the accused commit murder, rape, etc? Can anyone say that UK Sang or Ruto actually took a mashete or bows and arrows to kill rape anyone? If they incited people to work on their behalf how is that different from Raia and Mwai or better still Nyong'o who called for the match and is on record declaring "No Raia No Peace"? Weren't those who committed the actual crimes over 18 years of age, of sound mind and capable to stand trial? 2. Really? The withdrawal of that one judge in as much as you'd wish to make it look like nothing undermines the whole process to the core. A judge does not just withdraw from a case just like you'd choose not to go ahead with a trade... its different. Its about a moral and professional obligation and persuasion. In this case he cited the prosecutors shoddy work, I cant wait for this case to start...we will watch as the drama unfolds. 3. If you want to see an id***, the bathroom mirror will show you the perfect reflection but then again, you continue to prove the point that you are indeed naive.

Justice system work differently mr Murchr, so things are complicated that is why they've set law school entry a little higher for average people. There is no crime in calling for mass action so drop that from your argument, no raila no peace can only be a crime if it can be connected with some actions and maybe NYONYO was number 8 on the list so it is upto Kenyan courts to go after him. 4) Lastly do you want ICC to replace the names they have to the names you think they should have? That is really funny, you should look at your bathroom mirror for real! Really????

I will not argue with you, No one has ever denied that atrocities were committed, but the question has always been, did the prosecutor conduct investigations independently? He repeatedly said that he relied on the KNHRC report which he said he "trusts" never mind the trusted were all political appointees and the collections of submissions made in the Waki team, Waki the good judge insisted that the accusations needed investigations because of inconsistencies, Infact my understanding is that after the release of the 6 names the man was utterly shocked by the turn of events (No wonder his silence). Judges withdraw from cases yes and in most if not all, they state their reasons, this one was no exception, he stated the conduct of the prosecutor as a reason. You see Drunkard, some people value their time and more so respect their moral conscience, that may be hard for you to understand but it does indeed happen. I dont think I have told you that I want the names to be changed, no, its a waste of time. I pity all those who invested their emotions and time believing that man called Ocampo. The biggest problem that those of ngozi nyeusi still have is to believe that the man of ngozi nyeupe is perfect, more so if he wears a suit and a funny tie. Lastly, lets wait for the case to start, you live in the cyber world as I do, everything will unfold before us. I will still be here in wazua. Adios!

If you have never listen, the supporters of ICC including me want the process to continue and if the 4 are not guilty, they will be found innocent and that is great. The problem with those against ICC is that, they want to stop the case so much that they can't seem to think straight, they want to blame just about everyone, ICC, the West, Ocampo, KNHRC, RAO, even drunkard! It is silly, suddenly people like you spent all their energy defending people who do not need their defence, I hope you don't believe everything you write because if you do, kenya is doomed!

It's good to dream big. After all if you can dream up laptops you are allowed to dream that ALL african countries have a death wish. So I can imagine this conversation Kenyan: lets get your country out of ICC African: Sure, we are all sovereign European: Move out and I'll not send you cash African: Give me a sec mr. colonialist African: So Kenyan, how much will you give me? Kenyan: I'll lease for you a njet and give you free laptops African: Ok, let me think about it. African must be free. African to European: Sorry Sir, it was just a joke. This is comedic relief after watching a beheading and 13yr olds being raped. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

May be lets put it this way,supposing it was somebody else like RAO on trial at the ICC would we still push for withdrawal from this western court. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I must say what a certain mzungu told me about the kenyan society is true. We are the only society in the 21st Century that allowed out tribal politics to get out of hand leading to breakdown of state authority. In the 21st century we fought using farm implements, stones and broken bottles and then we think it's so important to occupy the international justice system. That kind of conflict belongs to 10000 BC and should be resolved the way ancient societies did by moving on and strengthening state institutions. African solutions to african problems

Was it possible for the ICC to conduct 'independent' investigation? And how would an independent investigation look like?
An 'independent' investigation cannot even exist. The investigator must always depend on information from another dependent source.
The argument that the ICC is political therefore unsuitable also faces the objection that all courts are political and are supposed to be political.
It is our 'Mpigs' that make 'most' of our laws. Courts interpret and enforce these laws. Now consider how political our 'Mpigs' are!
Who or what is African? The idea of exclusivity is very much similar to, and reflects the idea of racial superiority by 'Whites'. It is a dead idea.
These are days of universal brotherhood, and institutions of justice must be international and universal.
I take this threat of pulling out of ICC as diplomatic posturing with an aim to win some favorable concessions. But this move is fashioned in a politic that believes in power blocs. But this can no longer work. Social networks are now so extensive that nation states can only survive if their relations are mutual and collaborative.
Thus Kenya's foreign policy is its domestic policy. What is our position on PEV? 'Move on, the warring parties are now living happily, and peacefully'?
Events have multiple effects and each effect can't be ignored. And one effect that we may be ignoring is the implication of these events on our ideas. Like now, I see the TJRC recommending investigations on both the President and his deputy regarding PEV. How will the Citizen react? By clinging to his tribesman? The tribe is hopeless in this case.
The only valid solutions are international and universal.

May be lets put it this way,supposing it was somebody else like RAO on trial at the ICC would we still push for withdrawal from this western court. indeed! even those that financially exploited and oppress us!
