“The ICC declared that we have no case to answer. Who are you to start questioning that?” Uhuru asks Raila

It is illogical for a person to go to foreign capitals and talk negatively of his motherland, the President has said in sharp criticism of Cord leader Raila Odinga.
The ICC declared DP William Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang's case a mistrial, but Raila said the verdict spelled doom for the fight against impunity.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Thursday: “The ICC declared that we have no case to answer. Who are you to start questioning that?”
Uhuru added that it was wrong for an individual to plan to frame innocent people for political power.
“It is God who gives people authority and one does not need to falsely accuse others to ascend to power,” he said.
“When I tried and failed the first time in 2002, I accepted defeat and waited and by God’s grace I am now leading the nation."
He addressed Nyandarua county residents at various centres, and commissioned several development projects implemented by the Jubilee government.
The President pointed out that for six years, various groups tried to fix them at the International Criminal Court but failed because they were innocent.
The ICC dismissed a crimes against humanity case against him in December 2014. Uhuru, Ruto and Sang faced the charges over the 2007/8 post-election violence that left 1,200 dead.
The President said now that all cases are over, his government will resettle IDPs as soon as possible to allow them to continue with their economic development activities.
Uhuru said integrated IDPs will be compensated even if they did not go to IDP camps and were instead hosted by families and friends.
He underlined that only victims of the violence will benefit from the programme.
Deputy President William Ruto said only bizarre people can plan to jail innocent people so as to win leadership positions.
“There is no greater impunity than that by those who plan to jail innocent people for political reasons,” said Ruto.
In an address following the dismissal of his case, Ruto maintained he was innocent and said he had forgiven those who 'fixed' him at the ICC.
He pointed out that those who framed them had the intention of getting them jailed so as take over the country.
The President said the national government will give 70 per cent funds for building Nyandarua county headquarters. Nyandarua is special, Uhuru said, noting it did not inherit any colonial infrastructure.
He asked the county government to obtain the remaining 30 per cent so as to complete the project once it takes off.
Area leaders called for a university saying Nyandarua is the only county without one.
“The county government should set aside land or identify an institution for upgrading. I will send the Education cabinet secretary to plan,” Uhuru said.
He added that three dams will be built in Nyandarua, a project that could be funded by the French government.
On agriculture, the President said the county government should be at the forefront of planning and implementation as it is a devolved function.
“But if the funds are not enough or there are other roadblocks you can turn to the national government,” he said, in response to requests for a pyrethrum factory.
He said the government will give the county 30 milk coolers but challenged the county to take all devolved functions seriously despite seeking the national government's help.
Governor Waithaka Mwangi and county leaders took Uhuru on a tour to inspect development projects.
After a visit of Nyandarua Institute of Science and Technology, the President commissioned the Nyandarua campus ofKenya Medical Training College.
He then inspected Ol Kalau hospital and Engineer Level 4 Hospital in Kinangop Constituency and addressed residents of Miharati in Kipipiri constituency.
