By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.'' Man's life is primarily driven by the desire for future, the unshakable belief that the future holds promise.

"It has been mistakenly reported in online and social media, including by the Daily Post, that the Outreach Coordinator of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Kenya, Ms Maria Kamara, would have taken a position on the guilt of the Kenyan accused currently on trial at the ICC. This is not accurate, as Ms Kamara is a member of the ICC Registry, which is a neutral organ of the ICC. When conducting information activities, the ICC Outreach Coordinators fully respect their duties of neutrality and the presumption of innocence due to the accused. Information sessions aim at explaining the mandate and work of the ICC. They also provide to the Kenyan population timely and neutral information on the judicial developments. Outreach Coordinators never take positions on the guilt or innocence of ICC accused or suspects, whether in their interventions with media, victims groups, NGOs or any other group they would meet. Only the ICC Judges may issue decisions on the guilt or innocence of the accused, after a due process and only if they are convinced beyond reasonable doubt of the accused’s guilt."
