Pulling Out of ICC is not solution. Solution is proving our innocence.

After a reasonable duration of silence, today allow me write one or two about the news hitting topic of ICC pull out. Just as it can be established by any independent, broad minded citizen, Law in most cases is usually written to deter the continued practice of injustice in society and maintain peaceful coexistence among the members. Law is usually only punitive to the law breakers and culprits who violate the established principles of justice and well being of man. 

However, the proving of the innocent or the guilty can never be established, not until all the custodians of such laws read it well, understand and interpret.

By the time Kenya was registering as a member of the Rome statute, it knew that neither USA nor UK was a member signatory of the statute. However, it was for the good public interest of the common, poor, ignorant citizen that such membership was of benefit. 

By being a member, I believe her citizens would be deterred from engaging in any willful or rather malicious activities that may put the lives of citizens in danger. However, without a guiding principle and possible stringent consequences to somebody who maliciously tempers with the peace of this country, we are encouraging impunity, massacre of the innocent and continued perpetration of injustices in society scot free.

When analyzed, it is to some extend coming out clearly that the former ICC chief Prosecutor, Louis Moreno Ocampo did not thoroughly conduct his investigations before filing of the case against the trio and the Hague. Despite this, the case was confirmed and the accused summoned to answer to the charges. It is however important to note that, unless stated otherwise, the office of the prosecutor is not the Judging chambers. This is only but an office to bring on board the accused and justify its claims. Proving of the evidences presented by the prosecution wrong is the only way of proving innocence. Similarly, Just as Hon. Ruto stated, "However much you cook a lie, it cannot be converted to truths". 

Therefore, calling for an emergency parliamentary sitting and withdrawing from the Rome statute is not a Long Lasting solution as stated by those who consider themselves mouthpiece of this nation. Two wrongs do not make a right.

The best way we could show solidarity and sovreignity is only by working as a team and proving the levelled accusations false. This shall leave us as a state Dignified and blame free yet still discouraging impunity and massacre of the innocent.

If truly we love our leaders whom we elected, that's not the best step that we can take to help them because after all it is apparent that whether we withdraw or not, the cases shall continue. Let's combine our efforts on means that shall help us get our leaders from the Hague with dignity in the international community.

Hope you consider my request.

God Bless Kenya and Her People.

KU Elections are at door step, Tribal politics already shaping destiny, Lies in Colourfully printed Manifestos Are coming "SAD"

However Much we have Freedom of Speech, Let's respect Individual's privacy. Raburu has to apologise to us.

Willis Raburu, TV presenter, CITIZEN TV

It was to the dismay of all independent, broad minded citizens when Willis Raburu posted openly the identity of the person he suspected to be the ICC witness536. This was an unreasoned decision and a move that had been made into mud without putting on necessary boots. Probably, Raburu must have thought that this would have added flavor to his so called "truthmeter" because people would think he had revealed truth. But not, it never happened. 

To any broad minded citizen, whether Ruto and sang' are guilty or innocent, whether, the witnesses are lying or telling the truth, there private life is of value despite the ICC witness protection guidelines. Even if the witnesses were lying, I remember during the opening of the cases, Khan warned the witnesses of the possible consequences of doing that. 

It was therefore unrealistic, immature and irresponsible that an individual of Raburu's Caliber to make a move of openly exposing the identity of the witness, which to me sounded it was suspicious. To prove that he was not suspecting, Raburu accompanied his claim with evidence which if followed and proven right could put the lives of all family members of the witness in danger. 

Yes we all agree that as a journalist he has to inform Kenyans, do analysis and examine the unfolding of events to develop stories catchy to the viewer. But doing so at the expense of cost of lives of other people is unprofessional and worth condemning in Open air. 

It is sad to note that several hours have passed but the intellect Willis has not yet been heard either apologizing to the public nor giving any statement to indicate he could be sorry for being a traitor to the journey of justice in this country.

Or,

Is Willis Raburu out to intimidate the Witnesses yet to appear in the chambers?

Is somebody working behind him not to come out clearly?

Is he doing this for any gain for his profession?

Or even could he be playing a political game?

These are just but speculations. However, it will be unethical if such moves shall be condoned in this era we are all calling for Justice. ICC is not Kenyan High court. Yes, May be the evidence was rejected by a Kenyan court, but you never know if it was further investigated by ICC office of the prosecutor.

For the good of the suspected witness' family and for his integrity, despite having deleted the tweet, I urger Willis to openly come and apologetically withdraw the statement. However, the wrath of independent, poor and languishing Kenyans who still hunger and thirst for justice shall not let him go escort free. Nature may pay him in cruel Kindness.
