As we head to the AU heads of state meeting next week I will lobby vigorously for the Kenyan cases to be terminated . Fatou Bensouda is going to be present in Addis Ababa and I will tell her in her face to look at Article 53 and terminate the case so as to save her already dented image . The Kenyan cases must be dropped or terminated if ICC is to regain any confidence from
Africans who will gather in Addis Ababa next week. Reasons for terminating the case.
FLAWED investigations . first, at AU we shall tell the world that the prosecution is against a democratically elected African leader, currently in office. Second, the publicity drive that announced the case led to the media immediately pronouncing guilt of the accused .Third all key witnesses were procured by NGOs, in turn in receipt of funding from European governments well known for being against Kenya politically. And finally, all of those witnesses have gone on to recant or to contradict their original testimony at trial, or refuse to appear at all because they were coached by ICC initially
In most normal courts of law in Britain where justice is the shield of democracy my Kenyan brothers would have a case to answer. But supported by NGOs and media campaigns, along with many European major financiers, - which have never shied from expressing their dislike for Jubilee administration - the ICC cases stumbles on, further undermining the little credibility left in the court and exposing double standards.
ICC needs to reform the OTP and Audit OTP .
This situation cannot continue if the ICC is to develop into a serious and respected instrument of global justice.My stand against Fatou Bensouda is to put her on trial with Ocampo for the damage they caused to suspects and victims after they flawed investigations by taking wrong suspects to The Hague. will tell her in her face that she should let the flawed Kenyan cases to go.
