Somebody please enlighten me. I want to understand this ICC business. Let me share my ignorance or well my understanding of what is going on so that you can correct me.

My thinking was that by the time Louis Moreno Ocampo decided to prosecute 6 Kenyans, he had thoroughly investigated the Post election violence case and had narrowed down on the 6 from a much bigger list. So he systematically went through the list and decided Mr. XYZ did 123. Mr. ABC did 1234, Mr. DEF did 12345, Mr. Ruto did 123456789, Mr. Sang did 123456789 and so on therefore of all the 10 or 20 people I have on the list my investigation suggests that these 6 bear the greatest responsibility. He needed evidence to arrive at his decision to prosecute the 6 and not the others. This evidence must have included witnesses and records and documents to show that the 6 did what they are alleged to have done. So they go for the pretrial and the court actually looks at the evidence and determines that there is enough of it to sustain a trial for 4 people. Evidence against Ali and Kosgey is insufficient or not good enough.

Now when Moreno retired my assumption is he gave the files to Bensouda. The files must have had the evidence to show the 123456789 that Ruto, UK, Sang and Muthaura had done. So my big question is, what is she doing here? What evidence or help does she need the government to help her with that Moreno did not have when he put together the case? Did he not have evidence to prosecute the 4 in the first place? My understanding is that Bensouda is not an investigator and that she has officers who do the work on the ground so what is it that she hopes to accomplish by a very publicized visit that she could not have achieved with a phonecall?

Naomba kuelimishwa na wale wanaoelewa haya mambo.

It is about the wider geopolitical competition of the greater East and Central African including the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa. Here the West (read UK, France and USA) feel threatened and seek to have a hand at who succeeds Obako. Third world politics are heavily influenced by intelligence organizations like CIA to manipulate the social order through creating a public policy that is hard to break. This might just be it.

C&P

The objective of their visits are indicators of their identity as the handlers and proxies that are used to deploy and guide a weapon that creates a public policy about the ramifications of Kenyatta and Ruto leadership..............

While majority of Kenyan’s have been taking up everything the ICC and the media has prepared, (as ICC and the West wanted) their current mindset will be their greatest undoing since they hardly have an idea of what the West is doing to stop Kenya’s economic-military growth and the East and Central African economic union............

The West handlers at ICC may have also panicked after Kenya army single handed defeated Al-Shabaab militants by routing them out of the Somali port city of Kismayu after Americans, Britons, and Ethiopians failed. A stronger Kenya with a Kibaki student in the helm will make Nairobi very powerful and extremely military-economic independent that the West will become insignificant to East and Central Africa; these fears are what drives the ICC process and containing any Kibaki student from ascending to power is in-order.

Lets be honest with ourselves for once...please.Personally I dont mind the ICC being here,I am all for the West doing whatever they can so that whoever ascends to the presidency is a symbol of peace stability and level headedness,they should scheme,come up with all sorts of machinations to prevent whatever happened in 07-08 happening again...truth be told we have failed in almost all areas of governing ourselves,if there iznt pressure from the donors for transparency,we loot all the money,feed ourselves and our families forgetting the people who really deserve it,if we arent sanctioned,we kill each other like flies just coz we have differences in who we want to govern,just coz I support X and you support Y we hack each other,we are epic failures,just imagine during the height of the PEV driving along one of the highways,road blocked by huge boulders by young thugs of one side,car stops,you have to identify yourself,a citizen of Kenya in the 21st century,if you gave the wrong answer...thats the end of you,you get wiped out from the face of the earth just because you came from a particular tribe something you cannot change,something you never got to decide at birth it was so shameful...let the ICC,CIA,FBI,Mossad etc etc do whatever they can to prevent a repeat of what happened,if it means some candidates not vying be it so.

By the way

Is Kusadikika = shygal= rahatupu= david goldman= david james = "i will leave that unnamed"?

Please hide your footprints. One could drive a truck through them.

Benouda seems far much wittier that Ocampo!!!

......live on TV he is now selecting random speakers from the IDPs not the 1st ones who seemed pre-coached!!!

If the accused are innocent, why are some people worried, why not avail the required info!!!

....have you been watching the Saitoti inqueat, and then you want to be left alone, BOLLOCKS!!!!!

why are these guys in identical Tshirts like they have been sponsored? I watched the first guy say Anyang Nyongo was the one calling for mass actions.

Its possible for the Hague crew to hire some "victims" and give lopsided evidence to frame perceived enemies.

Conspiracy theory at its worst.
Better can be done.

Bensouda is doing what a prosecutor does. Gather evidence on a continual base.
Questioning her mandate/mission here unmasks your sympathy for the suspects.
The truth will set us all free.

@Rahatupu
Seeems you agree that you the same as the others above, thought you would defend!!!!

FATAL Ben-sue-duh.

so much for conspiracy theory @alma.
