Ndugu Maurice,
I do see your concern of getting the public to justify for the long term gain in regards to Ocampo Six and PEV (2007/2008)…… In as much as we both respect and love Kenya, we would have been seen way back just after the death of Mzee Kenyatta doing any sort of building a nation of trust worthy citizens. We have failed and nailed ourselves into this messy house of being subjected to airlift our leaders (Ocampo Six) to foreign land for trial. What is so painful about Kenya is the character build on tribe and being power hungry and angry. With due respect, Kenya had a pool of professional lawyers and government think tanks who could have not lead us to join a treaty that a few folks now blame. Why don’t we relax and wait to see justice take its order? Kenyans applied for the inclusion of ICC list and the PEV is the very first case subjecting us to that signature ascended. Let the world teach Kenya a lesson that we shall never forget should the six be found guilty. Why is Kenya erasing her name on International Directory Book? Please do have mercy on those poor citizens who faced death at gun point, fire, panga etc. How about the families who had their members robbed of a dear life? We have to wake up for this Moreno Ocampo’s call for justice. We are already crying of our man and community being politically targeted however ICC never asked Kenya to try any victim but we registered for such a help. As we all know it, if the PEV case was handled in Kenyan soil, how many community and Clan members would have flocked the High Courts of law to derail the justice process? This is just a trial process and much a waits the trial chambers and the jury.
NOTE: To mention that Kenya should focus on how to settle the victims of PEV is just a debate of politics as the history of Kenya tells it all. How long would it take to ensure which families were directly affected for compensation? The Ocampo Six are mighty leaders who languish on over Ksh.1. million a month salary and that alone is a justification that they can high prominent lawyers to help them in Hague. The best we do is wish the six fair trials but not averting the case to our rude, mucky and rotten system.

GREAT LAWYERS KIRAITU MURUNGI AND KALONZO MUSYOKA
These two great lawyers have not only turned their backs on Kenyans as they serve the great African gods of corruption, theft, impunity and injustice in Kenya. Notwithstanding their being learned men they have totally refused to defend Kenyans against impunity, injustice, theft anf corruption let alone the cancer of tribalism. They are shameless anti-reformists.
Besides, they maintain the ICC is ”colonialist and imperialist”. Knowing that they took part in the night swearing of Mwai Kibaki on the 30th December 2007 that led to violent blood birth one wonders why Luis Moreno Ocampo did not include them among those suspected of having committed crimes against humanity and genocide.
Luis Moreno Ocampo should pick up both Kiraitu Murungi and Kalonzo Musyoka in order that they might at The Hague tell the world what they knew or did not know prior to and during the PEV. Leaving them out altogether will definitely deny Kenyans deserving justice.
Both of them only see the innocence of the Ocampo six. Could they be called to the Dock at The Hague to explain to the world why the whole world sees the six as suspects in contradistinction to their dishonest world view?

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
The great government spokesman Alfred Mutua has spoken.
He has announced that the government is going to release KSh 4.7 billion from Treasury to pay for the expenses to be incurred by Francis Muthaura, Uhuru Kenyatta and General Ali because their role in the 2007/2008 elections violence was in the best interest of the government.
According to Alfred Mutua the shooting to death of more than 1500 innocent youth who were protesting the callous elections fraud was in the best interests of our government.
If this is a true stand by our government then why does ICC not simply indict the three great men without trial since they committed crimes against humanity and genocide on behalf of our government, thanks to Dr Alfred Murtua?
Using our money at The Hague to bail out our killers and then ask us to foot the bi;ll can only be called one thing: IMPUNITY! PERIOD!
