I do not know whether it is my distrust for the NGO sector or a host of other reasons, but I expect this to happen! SOON!

Where exactly are these witnesses?? What exactly have they been offered, I imagine an apartment..... so do they get a stipend every month?? and what about their families ama they have been relocated together with their families?? Say you are given an apartment and a stipend in say Washington DC, what do you do with your time.... are they also given jobs or are they allowed to go to school?

And then what becomes of them after the trial. Are you told.... haya rudi nyumbani... kazi imeisha. So where is this nyumbani you are supposed to go back to.... a place you have been away from for 5 years.

If after you give your testimony Uhuru and Ruto are found guilty and jailed which home do you go back to??

If after you give your testimony Uhuru and Ruto are found to be innocent which home do you go back to?

Hii kazi ni ngumu.

I think unless someone is promised a fully funded relocation and resettlement for him and his whole family it will be hard to take that witness stand in public.

While I may not agree with Makau on several issues. It is the dailypost that is becoming too sensational with its headlines.
and because none wants to interrogate this, you take the gutter paper as gospel truth.
Note the difference between Makau's tweet

ALL WITNESSES WILL DISAPPEAR IF TRIAL IS PUT OFF TO JANUARY,
and the gutter's headline
UHURU WILL KILL ALL ICC WITNESSES IF ICC POSTPONES HIS TRIAL TO 2014.
These are completely different headlines and I think the gutter press is going far beyond its limits.

And Wazua you have a duty to read from mainstream papers sio hizi za pang'ang'a.

goodness!!

If it was RAO on trial in ICC and you see witnesses withdraw, what would you be saying? Acheni vitina na ukabila

You read stories on gossip Internet media, and you take it as Gospel truth?

What is wrong with anyone saying "witnesses" will disappear? Does that equate to "killed" according to your truthful Daily post.

After all, who has not been seeing the witnesses "disappear" in the form of withdrawing.

I'm not saying Dr. Makau is a saint, but I agree with what @Um Sayala says.
