He said members will paralyse operations at the airport should the President decide to travel to Hague. “We will go and camp at the airport. No planes will land or leave as we are not going to let our President to be humiliated when we have a constitution that governs our sovereign state,” Wamari said.He said the ICC should drop charges against Uhuru and Deputy President William Ruto. “Kenyans have reconciled with each other and the ICC is not considerate of the Kenyan people and the court is dividing our nation,” Warari said. He said the ICC should bring back the cases to Kenya or Tanzania.“A house cannot be left without a father. Uhuru and Ruto should be left in Kenya since their lawyers can handle their cases at The Hague,” Warari said.“A house cannot be left without a father. Uhuru and Ruto should be left in Kenya since their lawyers can handle their cases at The Hague,” Warari said.The group demanded the immediate return to Kenya of Ruto, whose case is ongoing at the ICC.
