Since 2007 contested election Kenya has become a center of intolerance, and the country\u2019s capital city became a city of Human right abuse. The refuges from the neighboring countries especially that of Ethiopia and Somalia are victims of Kenyan corrupted Judiciary.\u00a0 The Kenyan authorities are famous in killing out rightly their own voters in cold blood. You cannot walk on the streets of Kenya without been harassed and robbed in plane\u00a0 \u00a0day light by the corrupted security men as a foreigner. The worst of the Kenyan abuse reached the ears and eyes of the ICC, that of mass massacre of the innocent voters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally , on December 15 last year, ICC prosecutor Louis Moreno-Ocampo named six high officials responsible for the election massacre 2007 in Kenya known as the six Ocambo as responsible for the \u00a0:-<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/object><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Suspended Cabinet ministers William Ruto and<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Henry Kosgey,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and\u00a0Kass <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  6. <\/strong><\/em>FM<\/em> presenter Joshua Sang <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are the\u00a0 six individual he wants to open cases against<\/a> them\u00a0 over the 2007 post-election violence.<\/p>\n

    Kenya the member of ICC is trying to get out of the organization in order to save the 6 convicted officials from appearing in the International court of justice. It is always easy to be a member and judge others. But it comes home it has become hard to apply. This has been proved by the recent parliamentary motion to change the constitution of the country which just been rectify by popular referendum. \u00a0The Kenyan MPs seem they can manipulate the law of the land to fit their needs not of the country. They even went further preparing to establish a local tribunal one like Rwanda to save the convicted officials so it would not trace up unto the president and prime minster himself.<\/p>\n

    In this shameful parliamentary debate Mr. Odinaga gave the following options as a way out from the crisis:-<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. To set up a credible local judicial mechanism;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. To seek a resolution of the United Nations Security Council to defer the ICC process against the suspects;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. To withdraw from the Rome statute; or<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    4. To let the ICC prosecutions to proceed which \u00a0he willl never let happen.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga discussed the establishment Rwanda type local tribunal as an alternative to trial at the Hague to save the six Kenyans under investigation by International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

      And the first step towards circumventing the international community is to prove like Rwanda that \u201cKenya has the will and capacity to try the suspects locally is by undertaking comprehensive judicial reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

      The President and the Prime Minister spent a considerable amount of time to exploring ways of appointing a new Chief Justice working around the provisions of the new Constitution which recognized fully the ICC and other international institutions Kenya is a member.<\/p>\n

      The Kenyan rulers\u00a0 to do this job without any obstacle they have to prepare the\u00a0 Chief Justice Evan Gicheru\u00a0 to exit before the\u00a0 enactment of this \u00a0new supreme law which will dope ICC.\u00a0 They have to Sworn in a new Judicial Service Commission that should play a key in this manipulation of the Kenyan constitution with high responsibility the appointment a new Chief Justice in the image of Rwanda.<\/p>\n

      These high manipulators of the Kenyan highest law the newly\u00a0 referendum passed constitution by the \u00a0in government is that if both Chief Justice Gicheru and Mr. Wako leave office alongside major steps towards reform completely changing the Kenyan Judiciary.<\/p>\n

      They also wanted to change the State Law Office and the Police Service; Kenyan and manipulators thought they will have headway to petition the ICC directly or through the United Nations Security Council. They thought this would suspend the hearings on the six Ocambos by the ICC, on the excuse that they are doing it themselves like Rwanda. And thus<\/p>\n

      <\/strong><\/p>\n

      President Kibaki and Mr. Odinga agreed to manipulate the ICC ways of getting the six off The Hague tentacles, since they know they \u00a0one has direct and the other\u00a0 indirect \u00a0responsibilities\u00a0 of the killings of 2007, while the six\u00a0 took orders . This leaders during elections day of 2007 which brought one to power and the other contested like Ivory Coast .Both are in agreement\u00a0 that they will \u00a0would still \u00a0establish a local tribunal to try \u00a0post-election violence suspects.<\/p>\n

      The two responsible for the outcome of the 2007 election also agreed behind doors, but publically showed reluctant to the \u00a0Motion that was passed by MPs urging the government to withdraw from the ICC and repeal the International Crimes Act.<\/p>\n

      Mr. Moreno-Ocampo who saw the ICC officials before them played double standard when it comes to the Ethiopian election of 2005\u00a0\u00a0 resumed working fast in order not to repeat the same mistake by unnecessary delay in Kenya.\u00a0 The judges of Pre-Trial Chamber II expected to start scrutinizing the cases to determine whether the prosecutor has a case against the six Kenyans. They are expected to make their ruling either by the end of next month or early March.<\/p>\n

      As planned the Chief Justice Gicheru is set to walk away by February 27, while Mr. Wako\u2019s record 20-year reign is set to end by August. In order to out run ICC judges there are indications he may be persuaded to leave earlier.\u00a0 These are the guys who gave the hands of the PKK leader Abdullah \u00d6calan<\/a> to the Turks \u00a0rather than\u00a0independent\u00a0 court through a third country in front of ICC or other tribunals. \u00a0Such \u00a0corrupted\u00a0\u00a0act did not help the Turks or the Kurds to solve the century year old paralysis of Asia Minor on the \u00a0“The Question of Kurdistan” to a\u00a0negotiated\u00a0solution like Southern Sudan \u00a0to this \u00a0day.<\/p>\n

      Kenya needs a true democracy corruption and constitutional manipulation, foreigner persecution is a daily phenomena. If it continues with this rhythm the country will join its north eastern neighbor to be a fallen state.<\/p>\n
