Exactly, save everybody the anxiety, time, embarrassment and drop the charges, dismiss this trumped case! Perhaps institute fresh investigations.

Consider OAR and Kibs in!

Real culprits

With the new developments regarding witness # 4, the ICC Court will have no choice but to throw out the case against Uhuru & Muthaura due to the following:
(1) A new fact has been discovered that was not known to the Chamber at the time it made its original decision.
(2) There has been a material change in circumstances since it made the original decision.
(3) There is reason to believe that its original decision was erroneous or constituted an abuse of power on the part of the chamber, resulting in an injustice.

Trial Chamber will rule that judicial reconsideration is possible with “new information about which the Chamber had no knowledge at the time of its original decision.” Moreover, such an oversight is needed to “maintain public confidence in the judicial system.” A chamber’s power to review in the interests of justice is also evident from Article 84(1)(b) of the Rome Statute, which allows for revision of conviction or sentence when it is “discovered that decisive evidence, taken into account at the trial and upon which the conviction depends, was false, forged or falsified.



Interesting observation. Why all this drama? Our own Tobiko would not let a case of this might do to the Judges before he has put together quite some tight evidence. Its absolutely amazing what is happening with the OTP at the Hague. Indeed, having worked with some non- African and non-Kenyan chaps, I think Justice is looking more VAGUE at the HAGUE than it could have been at home. Talk about Reversed roles!!!



This case is nonsense on stilts. It's crumbling and the prosecutor is looking for a graceful way out. Ocampo left her a string of hearsay that to a discerning Kenyan with average understanding would find incomprehensible. Does anyone ever imagine Amb. Muthaura ushering in low cadre Mungiki (if it was Maina Njenga himself it would have sounded that bit more credible) to meet the President and Uhuru Kenyatta to discuss revenge attacks? Ministers have trouble gaining access to Statehouse and foreign Ambassadors especially from the West lament unceasingly of their difficulty to secure an appointment with the President, but, according to Ocampo and Bensouda, this dude jumps the queue and has a quartet meeting with these gentlemen? Really??? Are we being serious??? The sooner the ICC drops this charade the more credibility they stand to retain out of this fiasco.


Possible, but its for the OTP to give that proof and beyond any reasonable doubt. Carey, just come to think about it, could it also be possible that this particular witness may have been induced to give false evidence from the very onset of this case Or even better, could he/she be going by the scales with the highest bidder taking it? Intricate stuff here. Lets watch the space and see. But I smell Mzee Hatari's cookie coming through.



Hague is dealing with these desperate applications everyday, why can't they put these people in remand to make game short?
