Job makes good a point. This makes the case why a local tribunal was hell bent to be a joke. It would have led to this sort of nonsense by the "esteemed" lawyer. I hope they keep it up, and so expect political noize for the next few days until April 6th. For now impunity fights back, remember the saying about a rattled snake.

MPs WARN AGAINST ICC ARRESTS www.nairobistar.com/national/national/18951-rutos-family-suffers-as-political-temrprature-risesMeanwhile assistant Water minister Ferdinand Waititu, Makadara MP Mike 'Sonko' Mbuvi and Juja MP William Kabogo have asked the youth to prepare themselves for mass action (quick!! someone call Moses whatever his name, someone used the "em a" words) if the Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and suspended Higher education Minister William Ruto are arrested after going to the International Criminal Court. The trio who promised to lead the demonstrations with youth from across the country. But this from the same article takes the proverbial ugali:Waititu said that he would mobilize youth from Embakasi to block the flight ;D ;D ;D (THAT IS TOO FUNNY, even reddykulas can not come up with stuff like that) that will be taking the Ocampo Six to the Hague if Raila and Medical Services minister Anyang' Nyong'o were not the list to go on trial. |

b6kDid you hear anywhere ODM tell folks to block highways, uproot rail lines and engage in "RV bloodletting" Who gave those specific orders? Who? Maybe thats your definition of mass action. ODM called for mass action the way you first described it, peaceful marches of protest. But it was never to be. Your guy muthaura and Ali sent his goons with shoot to kill orders. Wana Jukwaa lost loved ones that way. But like those thugs who came with whips in Tahrir square, some folks can do stupid stuff. They will take their law into their own hands. I just witnesses the anarchist run riot and break window shops as they were also protesting the Conservative policies in the UK. Soo dont try and take us for fools. Many a protest take its own life once its starts However hard you try, you will never be able to twist what kina ruto are alleged to have done - herd folks into a church and burn them, or what kina jomo jnr are alleged to have done, burn children and families in their houses. In Kenya there is nothing like a peaceful mass protest. Si hivi majuzi IDPs (mainly from Central Kenya) were twangwaad by the same Govt which is headed by a guy from Central. Infact 20 of them are in jail as we speak. So dont come here all haughty and mighty trying to draw moral equivalence between calls for protests and mafiya thugery! PM as I subscribe to neither PNU nor ODM you cannot describe muthaura or ali as "my guy(s)". In fact the schizophrenic GCG has been the biggest dissapointment other than the fact that it has somehow managed to hold the peace against all odds. Although I am not from the house of mumbi (another myth that all RVP victims are automatically from central) I did lose an elderly uncle who could not flee from the kalenjin warriors in Molo & had relatives who were forced to abandon their farms in Cherangny. I don't think the PEV affected only "Wana Jukwaa" as you put it. It was a Kenyan tragedy. I agree with you that there is no such thing as peaceful mass action in KE. Therefore a leader who calls for it is at best spoiling for a fight, or at worst knowingly sending his subjects on a suicide mission. If you read the Waki report it is pretty clear who made those calls. Some have since died, others have lost their seats in by-elections, but several are still prominent members in ODM. Both sides of the GCG have serious cases to answer to in the PEV debacle that cost our nation dearly in lives & treasure. Thuggery in state house & thuggery on the streets is just that...plain old thuggery. To quote UK, "two wrongs don't make a right". Unless justice is meted out evenly across both sides of the divide we will only be laying the foundation for future injustices. Whatever little moral high ground ODM still clung to in regard to their stance on ICC was recently sacrificed at the alter of political expediency in its referral about-turn. |

Uhuru Kenyatta is getting desperate, this defense strategy will not work. He needs to prove his innocence at the Hague instead of creating red herrings.
Just like political rallies, defferals, shuttle strategies, demonstrations, banging tables etc have not worked: this will come a cropper.
