"Moreno Ocampo’s Invocation of my Research Shockingly Unethical, Predatory and Careless
Prof. Peter Kagwanja
29 September 2011
On a number of occasions between 21 and 29 September 2011, the ICC Prosecutor, Mr. Moreno Ocampo, and his team selectively cited, out of context and in a televised hearing, some of my research published nearly a decade ago, in a manner that erroneously portrayed me as a “prosecution witness” in the on-going confirmation hearing at the Hague against Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya.
In Ocampo’s 29 September 2011 cross-examination of Uhuru Kenyatta my work and name loomed large as if it is the only incriminating evidence he holds against Mr. Kenyatta.
Furthermore, the ostentatious manner in which Mr. Ocampo invoked my work and my name before the Court reveals malicious intent that has endangered my life and potentially jeopardized my career. Judging by the barrage of calls I have received so far, the careless act by the ICC Prosecutor to put me into public spotlight at this critical phase of Kenya’s history is a threat to my personal security in the context of not only the emotive nature of this case, but also its connection with the criminal underworld.
Even more sinister was Ocampo’s claim that I work for Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta while at the same time invoking my publications in a way that sought to incriminate him. This tactic is calculated to cause grave disaffection and irreparably damage relations with Mr. Kenyatta.
Interestingly, despite claims of extensive investigations on this case, Mr. Ocampo never contacted me as an author to share or clarify issues raised in the cited publications. He instead proceeded to base weighty claims on frightfully thin ice."
