So, Kenya Parliaments wants Kenya to be withdrawn from the Rome Treaty that created the ICC. Kenya has always led the world from the front in athletics. When we killed each other after the 2007 elections, we almost lost all the glory and respect Kenya had in the world and our reputation as a law abiding nation was pushed way back. Now the Parliamentarians (except Karua and Kilonzo) want us to actually lead from the bottom. They want Kenya to be the first country out of some 114 countries to ever quit the ICC. They want us to quit before Sudan even thought of doing this abominable act of officially becoming a pariah state.

Oh Lord, Ngai, Were, Bahaula, Mulungu, Omwami Wanje, Nyasae Nyakalaga…..just how low will you allow our Parliamentarians to get us? Oh Baab, where is the bottom?

Ok, if this is the bottom, then let me tell what it really means:

1. This by far is the hardest ball Raila & Kibaki will ever have to play in their political life. If they allow Kenya to extricate itself from ICC, there will be consequences:

i) For Kibaki, his legacy will be inscribed in history as the only president who took office when the nation he led was the most optimistic and positive ecumenically and politically, then turned the most corrupt and hateful nation (what with 2007 PEV), then the most hopeful (what with the passing of the best constitution in Africa), to a pariah state.

ii) For Raila, his legacy will be inscribed as the 2nd Premier of Kenya, the most brilliant of leaders the country ever saw, but one who would never be president of Kenya, period.

I therefore advice the two principals as such: do not dare follow up with what the parliamentarians want you to do. It is a trap loaded with mines that are infused with cyanide. If you follow through with what they want, you will be torn open then poisoned.

Disregard the political emotions that the ICC case has caused. You are our leaders and must protect our constitution. Yes, you must turn into ICC even your own mother if this was the case in order to save Kenya. No one is guilty until proved guilty by ICC. Shield the suspects and suspects to be and you will be siding with impunity.

Reject our plea and risk our wrath at the ballot. We the people of Kenya, in the splendor of our diversity, hereby declare that should you pull Kenya out of ICC, it will never again be business as usual.
