Did i read somewhere that the guy had refused to aliggt from the plane? And it took the then Jamaican PM to pursuade the 'little small man' Rita marleys words,not mine, to get out and greet those crazy folks taking him for who he was not?

““I do this in appreciation of the fact that the Rome Statute whose contents I have familiarized myself with over time requires that a trial must be based on truth and that there must be impartial investigations.......I am aware that several other people were recruited as witnesses. The office of the prosecutor never conducted any investigations on the ground as the basis for what they are calling my testimony. It would be a matter of interest to the chamber for the prosecution to produce the audio tapes/recordings done in Arusha and those done in the Netherlands for the court to compare and make a finding on whether the contents of the two sets of recordings are the same,” Witness No. 8

We got in due to POPULISM...the same we enacted a populist constitution.

In that regard, "we" want out because it is the "popular" demand at the moment.

What then happens if say a mad dictator takes over Azania and starts ethnically decimating Zulus because he is a Xhosa and the "popular" cry all over Mother Africa is send him to the ICC. Do "we" go back in because it will be the "popular" consensus?

Even that awesome dog from coasto was coached

'We' definitely had many reasons for embracing the Rome statute. Selfish motives by nation states a.k.a 'national interests' were definitely there. For example, it is highly probable, that the so called 'world powers', or some world powers wanted to control and further their interests. Weaker states must have had their selfish interests too.

But we were also making the important steps in the government of Man by recognizing that there are no boundaries seperating culture and identity. And established the right of states to act on other states that may be seen as deviant.

This statute is a pillar that shouldn't be looked at lightly. We cannot even do without it.

Otherwise how will the state stand? I cannot imagine how Africa or even Kenya can stand alone. We are intertwined at every conceivable level.

For example, is it proper that thousands should die in Syria while we watch helplessly?

What happened to Gaddafi and his country? What is happening in Uganda?

What happened in Kenya in 2008? How has it been accounted for?

There was a time we believed that the Hague was the way to go. Why?

Kenya, and Africa should instead seek to strengthen the ICC, even if it means persuading the world powers to sign the Rome statute.

But our President and Deputy are suspects. The way out is a political deal amongst Kenyans pointing towards truth and reconciliation, and a deal with the ICC based on facts of the case, and representative democracy allowing elements of a direct democracy through extensive network systems. It will be a fair deal, and the whole world will be happy.
