Politicians at The Hague do no represent the interest of Kenyans

Kenyan members of parliament who are at The Hague don’t substantially represent the people of Kenya.

They come from one political party and two communities out of the forty two communities that make the society of Kenya. Their demands for the changes on the Rome statute are not demands of Kenyans. These members of parliament are only doing this out of political chauvinism but not in support of social justice and democracy in Kenya or anywhere else in the world. It is an embarrassment to modern consciousness, a paradox to democracy and impeachment of natural justice as well as fundamental human rights for political leaders in Kenya to selfishly push for the purges on the Rome statute for the sake of two accused persons at the cost of more than two thousand families of victims who were brutally affected in the post election violence in 2007 and 2008 elections in Kenya.

It is therefore my request and humble submission as a Kenyan to the International Criminal Court that it remain considerate and equitable in its disposition to continue with the case of Ruto and his accomplice, and any other matter before it in a fair manner to ensure some justice is done to the poor peasants who suffered and lost lives as well as homes during the 2007-2008 post election violence in Kenya.

In a similar stretch, the international community must learn and be aware that Kenya is not ready to pull out of international justice system as provided at the Hague because of two people. Kenya strongly needs The Hague given volatility in its political socialisations as often observed and as it is done among other African countries.

Thus, let African politicians learn how to be honest and respect the international judicial system as well as governance institutions.
