our courts, right from Kadhi's (including Njuri nchekes etc), Magistracy, High Court etc. In short we should suspend the constitution, withdraw from the UN, EAC, all treaties, and dissolve all governance institutions. This will enable us to revert to the Hobbesian State of
"war" "....and such a war as is of every man against every man" without the hindrances and sanity provided for by these institutions.
We ought also to throw out through the widow the Lockian logic of
Reason: That
"no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions"; and that transgressions of this may be punished. Only when we are done with the slaughtering, raping,and all other transgression against each shall we rediscover true sanity and need for respect of our institutions of government.
I am disgusted!
I hear you and identify with your very legitimate concerns albeit emotional.
It is pointless to start drumming for withdrawal from ICC.
In fact it even wont help the cause of those who so advocate, - that of cushioning their buddies from going through the ICC process.
We cannot be seeking to change laws every time our buddy is inconvenienced. We must always think of the larger good that is/will be served by the law.
Having said that, I think we should also understand those people who are dissatisfied with Ocampos handling of the KENYAN SITUATION.
It is quite in order for people to feel that justice will not be done given the route Ocampo has taken.
Remember the age old maxim that - justice should not only be done, but also be seen to be done.
Some in our number may have issues with certain omissions and inclusions in Ocampos list.
Again it is in order for people to hold the view that Ocampos presentation of his case to the Judges as seen in the net ,is clumsy, lousy and problematic.
That way he has unwittingly created an escape route for suspects who should otherwise be found culpable.
