If ODM was the only one in power, we would still be wondering what their agenda was with this country. That's why you realize all things, whether good or bad (though sad), happened for the good of us. You can never rely on the wind if you want to move in a certain direction.

I agree with Simon on the meaning of the 2 new vocabularies. There is no difference. They both converge after 1 yr. This move by ODM is motivated by 2012 polls. There is a lot of support for a local solution among GEMA and Kalenjin communities. Anybody supporting Hague is likely to face the wrath of the 2 blocs. Ruto and Uhuru have been firing salvos at Raila due to his support for ICC. What will they use now? Also, the effect of the local solution on ODM fortunes is the same as ICC process-Uhuru n Ruto wont be vying. Smart move IMHO.

RAO has always been on either the Hague or refferal, but not defferal.

the problem with our politics is we have parties who dont know what they stand for.Positions are changed when it suits them am sure if you were to read party manifestos you would be surprised to find documents which do not reflect realities on the ground.

Thats why I think Martha karua offers a fresh approach to politics where one sticks to his beliefs No matter the cost.

I wish she doest change her position like the rest of the demagogues.

This about-turn leaves me wondering what ODM is upto. Writing to UNSC was very drastic and showed how divided the Kenyan goverment was. Why did they write and now seem to retreat? Why let the country's political temperature rise to the point of melting for opposing a diferral? Could it be that some people in ODM are thrilled by turbulence in the country?

Referral; the cases are handled in ( referred to) Kenya instead of the ICC.

Deferral; The cases are heard at the ICC but the dates are pushed forward to a later date


Ooops! Did I just comment on a politics thread!!

you are being one sided....all Kenya, all the time... What makes you think the other side wasn't going to go down the same path? Their is a probability that these ODM guys have been persuaded to change their minds since kila mtu will go down...you never know

@nostopping, I was talking from the ODM point of view, trying to find out why they would change their stand. Did I get the heading for this topic right?

.....ukweli kabisa, in terms of spilling the beans, MK should be the mosty scared!!!!!

@Selah, I disagree, those pushing for referral want to fry their own and those pushing for deferral have no intention of achieveing justice...Justice delayed, is justice denied...
