July 2012
"The hearing of the case which was slated to start today, (Tuesday) did not materialise after defense lawyers failed to appear before the court. Justice Isaac Lenaola has however cautioned parties in the petition to desist from carrying out discussions on the issue.
A 3 Judge Bench including Lenaola, Mohamed Warsame and Philemona Mwilu are presiding over the case. But the two other Judges did not turn up in court as they were said to be indisposed." [Lenaola showed up.]
Oct 2012
"The hearing was however adjourned after the two activists filed the application to stop the proceedings until the appeal against the striking out of the names is determined."
And the original petition was filed in January 2012!
Would the Vetting Board throw out a judge who is hearing such an important case? Hmmm.
There are some deep pockets involved here. Can judges still eat in the new system? Hmmm.
Of course everyone involved in this matter has the highest imaginable integrity, but these are the sorts of questions my fellow manambas and I have been asking, given our incapacity for Advanced Thinking.

As I stated on another thread, I am delighted that the African countries decided on Bensouda. They were probably thinking "Africa for Africans", "she is not as combative as Ocampo", "now our murderous dictators great leaders will be left alone", ... and now, as she sets to work, they are probably alternating between crying in their beer and yelling "the b* betrayed us!". Very sweet, from where I sit. But back to the case at hand ... after the appeal---add another month--there will be another appeal to the Supreme Court. Add another month. Then some lawyers won't show up. Add another month. Then some judges will be "indisposed". Add another month. Then there will be hearings. Add another month. Then the judges will withdraw to make their decision. Add two more months! OOPS! We are already past March 2013!

There is a little psychological flaw which was profiled in Bensouda before AU fingered her. Personally I was part of a mercenary crew who sought to use reverse psychology to fill up the pot-hole in the mental make up of Fatou Bensouda. You see she is a former minister for justice and ex-attorney general in her former country. And she was no leading light of progressive law,nor democratic space! She served a dictator very well and got promoted. m--melleability. So people like me --who follow democratic struggles in Africa, like to remind her to COMPENSATE FOR HER CRIMES DURING HER VOLUNTARY SERVICE TO DICTATORSHIP! This compensation must take the form of REVENGE RUTHLESSNESS ON DICTATORS. So, Bensouda to show she is any different now, must cut off the balls of Kagame, M7, and closer to home, you know who! Otherwise she remains the UA's choice --serving the lords of impunity! [as her profile was decoded...]

[as her profile was decoded...] You may have a point, and that could even be why she was chosen by our great leaders, but it could be a point in her favour---that she knows how the African Mind of Impunity works! Anyway, whatever her past is, all I am looking at is how she is going about cutting ... at the ICC. Perhaps that is her way of atoning for her "sins". Have you ever noticed the energy that former alcoholics bring to the subject of no-drinking? Anyway, as the mzungu manamba said of the opera: "It ain't over until the fat lady sings!". Uhuru & Co, take note; she could be singing a requiem.

Jakaswanga:
Progress has been made. After 10 months, the learned judges have directed that Uhuru and Ruto be notified that they have been adversely named in the petition. Expect more delays: Uhuru's lawyers will argue that he should not have been named. There will be a decision. Then an appeal. Then another decision. Then an appeal to a higher court.
I was reading some ICC cases last night and wondering how Ekaterina would have handled our matter of "technical due-process procedure". Her general approach: "amend it and return it within 7 days; otherwise it's dead".

Court: Uhuru, Ruto integrity case to proceed
Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta (left) and Eldoret North MP William Ruto during a rally at Nairagie Enkare, Narok County November 15, 2012. A court has declined to stop proceedings in a case challenging the integrity of Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto to contest the presidency November 23, 2012. NATION MEDIA GROUP
By PAUL OGEMBA Posted Friday, November 23 2012 at 12:18
A court has declined to stop proceedings in a case challenging the integrity of Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP Wiliam Ruto to contest the presidency.
The three-judge bench of Justices Isaac Lenaola, Mohammed Warsame and Lady Justice Philomena Mwilu also declined to withdraw from the case.
There have been calls for Justice Warsame and Lady Justice Mwilu to withdraw from hearing the case after they were appointed to the Court of Appeal.
However, the two are yet to be sworn in as Appellate judges and technically remain High Court judges.
The judges set hearing for November 29.
The court dismissed an application by a group of petitioners who wanted the case stopped pending their appeal to enjoin Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka in the main lawsuit.
Initially, the High Court had allowed Mr Odinga, Mr Musyoka and the Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi to be included in the case but the later removed the names.
But two activists wanted the hearing and determination of the petition stopped until an appeal they have filed against the striking out of the names of three is heard and determined.
Serious criminal charges
The case seeks an order to restrain the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from accepting the nomination of any candidate who has been committed to trial for serious criminal charges under the Kenyan and International law.
Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto, who are facing charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC), have said they will contest the presidency during the March 4, 2013 General Election.
The petitioners in the case at the High Court sought an interpretation of Chapter Six of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity claiming that the candidature of Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto would be a recipe for chaos and perpetuate the culture of impunity in the country.

What happens if by the time of the election, this case has either not been determined or an appeal is pending before the Court of Appeal by either party? Cases can be expedited. Don't forget Judges are sensitive to the public anxiety and can hear cases quickly if need be for the public good. It has been done before. On an important point, I fear the application may be seen to be speculative and therefore a moot case. It is based on the assumption that the The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will certify the two fellow to stand for presidency. But, IEBC has not yet received the election applications of the two fellows and it si not known how they will proceed. It would have been straightforward when and if the IEBC had certified the two to stand for presidency, where the Court could be asked to nullify such certificates . At the moment, there is no action/omission yet to peg a legal suit on - as the allegation prayed for in the action/omission of the IEBC have yet to happen. The Court is being asked to preempt the action/omission of the IEBC and tell it how to proceed without giving it time to make its own decision, first. So in that circumstances the Court can easily say wait until there is something done or not done by the IEBC for us to rule on on their action/omision. It is good to know that Warsame is in the thick of it.

... and now the not so civilized society aka ODM shadow campaign machine withdraws the integrity case on very flimsy grounds. My hunch is that with the deadline for election pacts fast approaching and 'Kajudas' wavering, the thinking in ODM is to put pressure on him to join them now that the hope of stopping Uhuruto from running is no longer there.
Desperation is kicking is kicking in at the orange house in big volumes.

Lawyer Oluoch, arguing for one of the other sides, could barely conceal contemptuous irritation. He thought this was a waste of time, because the elephant remained in the room: do the other three gentlemen get free passage rights, relevant the said clause, or not? He intimated this was a high-profile case of great public interest, and the court needed, was within mandate, to think it out constitutionally to the end!
Procedure incorrect the judges say? Did this not only mean the litigants would re-convene the case in the CORRECT PROCEDURE, then the courts, if not these self-same panel of mentally lazy judges, would still have to give an opinion on the illegibility of the said candidates? That is the courts are still in deficit, of a publicly stated opinion, binding, on the BEST understanding and interpretation of the thrust of the integrity clause, vis-a-vis the alleged 'violations' --corrupt [radio?] license for Kalonzo, Cemetery land grab and Anglo-Goldenberg for Musalia, Maize and KKV and the rest for Raila.
An opinion on whether these cases are mere witch hunts or not! But the bench absconded from duty, postponed the inevitable, and sheepishly trudged out of the court! www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Uhuru-and-Ruto-integrity-case-dropped-/-/1064/1632646/-/bukj8vz/-/index.htmlWe are back to square one, as Oluoch noted when he could barely conceal his contempt. The elephant in the room the learned court and her Judges could not see. Now Lo! Behold! Warsame's eyes have opened --THE ACTIVISTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING THE MOTHER OF ALL PETITIONS TO HIS COURT! And the circus can go back to perpetual repeat! Advanced thinking did you say Otishotish? Court reads Judgment in 2050!

Not let withdraw their case?

This is problem I have with your reasoning that at times amazes me. If the judges had been thinking, of the fundamental nature of the case, they would have realised months ago, that the technical dismissal as reasoned by Oraro, would lead back to exactly the same case coming up again. because it is not a ruling on the integrity and illegibility of anybody. Sadik, we have judges who sleep during submissions! and it shows in their rulings! This court has been playing possum, and you know it.

Mwalimu, Mvua haikunyesha sehemu hii licha ya kutabiriwa na watabiri wa hali ya hewa nikadhani chama cha ODM ilihusika!! Here he is, one of the petitioners, jisikizie mwenyewe and draw your own conclusion. I remember we had an exchange with the 'late' Job on this issue before his demise at jukwaa. You will remember, as soon as Mudavadi left ODM, signs of change of heart in regard to ICC and all matters related to it and the two gentlemen became vivid in the ODM camp. One of the things that started to take a different direction was this case. The petitioners, majority from the civil society, I believe with prodding from the high political class that mothered the ICC decided to let go the case but were not bold enough then to apply for its withdrawal. They instead decided to rope in everyone else with the hope the courts will do the dirty work for them and throw the case out all together. They were wrong, the courts instead threw out the amendment while retaining the original version. First forward to now, URP and TNA have gone ahead and agreed in principle to form a pre-election coalition that leaves out Kalonzo and Mudavadi, the two gentlemen that ODM believes were Uhuruto's spare wheel depending on the outcome of this case. What option does ODM have? Remove any hope of the two gentlemen ever inheriting Uhuruto's constituency based on the court process, especially now that Kalonzo is wavering and seems unsure of whether to wait in G7 or leave. That is why we are where we are today. The question then is, will it work? I do not think so. Musyoka is probably the most humiliated leader at the hands of the ODM supporters and leadership, he has been called all the names in the book. Will Kambas be willing to follow him in a house where they are treated with such contempt for only a VP slot? I have my doubts. As we speak, the Kamba leadership is split down the middle, those who have beef with Uhuruto and are only interested in their elective positions like Mutula and Muthama, want the ODM way, while those who care about their reputation as a party and as a community, are either for UDF or URP/TNA. I am sure we havent seen the last of the charlatans in the civil society, they will try one more time, but I bet you, they will be outmaneuvered again. Uhuru captured this very well earlier today that they have gone through so many huddles before and ready for any other.

Here they are: www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Lobby-files-new-Uhuru-and-Ruto-lawsuit/-/1064/1633514/-/mm1k20z/-/index.html MwalimuMkuu You must be aware by now that the ICC case on Uhuru and Ruto has been both a blessing and a curse, i say this because before Uhuru was mentioned by the ICC prosecutor he was a forgotten man, his star in politics was diminishing and the Kikuyu community looked lost without a leader who will centralize their support, he did not pull any kind of serious political clout until his name came up in Haque and he capitalized on that to rally his community behind him, he was seen as the one who is persecuted for all of them, he was the sacrificial lamp, and the community had to give him their full support, he as milked the Kikuyu emotions just to ascend to power, same as Ruto who used the same tactics on the Kalenjins, and they both blamed same person for their predicament, Raila Odinga. Whereas Uhuru managed to succeed in his herding of the Kikuyu community, Ruto's plan started to backfire when Henry Kosgey case was thrown out, he could not continue to blame Raila for going against the Kalenjin while Kosgey was fully behind Raila, and to add problems for him, he will be supporting Uhuru for presidency, while the issue of land is still a hot potatoes. Coming to the issue of integrity case, we all know this was a game plan by both Ruto and Raila, same as the Haque case, they knew that the integrity case will play the part of ICC case in Kenya, it will be used to dangle a carrot towards the other presidential candidates so that they stick around expecting that they will get the support of both Uhuru and Ruto if they don't run, but all this was a plan so that Eugine,Kalonzo,Mudavadi,Ngilu will not try and form a coalition with Raila, or market themselves individually. You must notice that, the case was withdrawn just few days to Dec 4Th deadline, now Kalonzo and Eugine runs around like headless chicken, trying to form alliances in haste. Same time the case was used to rally the two tribes against Raila and ODM, going by what Kabando wa Kabando was saying So the Integrity case was and will be used by Uhuru and Ruto to rally their base and continue to confuse Kenyans, let them Run, if they loose they should not say the western countries, Raila locked them out, Kenyans should not vote for this two, it will be easy now because they have glued themselves together, if you reject one you reject both. My final say is LET THEIR INTEGRITY BE TASTED ON THE BALLOT.
