Do you think the parliamentarians do not fear Ocampo? There was this lady who was having nightmares just thinking she might be on the list. I would want the nightmares to continue for anyone who thinks they can act with impunity just because they are MPs, President PM etc.
Whoever wants to bring violence in 2012 is most welcome, then the O6 can become the O15 or something like that. We can then break this vicious cycle of impunity and violence.
Finally, Mr/Ms Liv, you suggest that we capitulate to some idiotic politicians ati so they can implement the constitution. I beg to differ. There is need to have the constitution implemented, but I assure you that getting the O6 out of the way is the first step. They are just a reminder of the dark days of yore.
I see your point just as I share in Kenyans frustration with seemingly unending impunity.
However we must never be blinded by feelings as to become
im-pragmatic.
I guess the suggested deferal would not work counter to your aspiration in slaying the Impunity beast.
Within the 12 Months if nothing credible is done locally, ICC will take over.
If we manage to start prosecutions of the PEV suspects, many people who played different roles will face the law.
benefit of doubt sometimes, without conceding too much!
