OPINION: International Criminal Court won’t solve Kenya’s problems, let us preach national unity

There is clear indication that the International Criminal Court which through its former prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo had indicted President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Joshua arap Sang has no case against the three. As the cases facing the three crumble at the ICC due to lack of evidence in the President’s case and false witnesses in the case of the Deputy President and Mr. Sang, Kenyans need to reflect on this situation not only to celebrate but also take advantage of the impending acquittal to embrace one another and demonstrate to the world that we are one country that can’t be divided by politics of malice, propaganda and hatred.

It is easy to conclude that the wedge politics that promoted inter-ethnic hatred during the November 2005 referendum are what eventually culminated into the 2007’s post-election violence that left over a thousand people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced.
