High Court judge Richard Muongo has issued a warrant of arrest against journalist Walter Barasa who is wanted by ICC.

The ICC case against Walter Barasa:

The 13th Session of the ICC Assembly of States Parties just ended in New York. The little matter of Mr. Barasa came up in of the "side" things. It also featured, as 2(f), in the "Seven-Step Formula For Impunity":

"(f) When the ICC brings charges of witness tampering, refuse to
hand over the individual."

Forget chicken. Some folks in the Muntugaroo Court have been enjoying Serious Butterball-Turkey.

I constantly wonder at the brains at the Prosecutors office. Walter Barasa was one of the procurement officers of the ICC in getting witnesses for the Ruto case. After making their money and knowing the witnesses (how else would he have ever known the witnesses he is accused of bribing) he saw the opportunity to buy back the witnesses. And so in a planned sting operation completed with wired witnesses, Barasa is caught in the conversation promising a witness millions if he withdraws his evidence to the court.

So be prepared for the a new saga that beats Kenya's Procument and Disposal laws....witnesses for ICC!
