Sunday September 15, 2013 – The bid by President Uhuru Kenyatta, and his Deputy, William Ruto’s Jubilee, to pull Kenya out of the Rome Statute has received a shot in the arm after Netherlands, which hosts the infamous International Criminal Court (ICC), agreed to support Kenya’s push.

This was revealed in a meeting in Netherlands where the country’s three main parties of Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and Liberals, invited Kenya’s National Assembly Majority Leader, Aden Duale and other MPs who accompanied William Ruto to The Hague, to a meeting to discuss Kenya’s withdrawal plans.

The Netherlands agreed to the Kenyan position about ICC after the legislators persuaded them to understand the stand that the Kenyan Government had taken, saying the International Criminal Court (ICC) indeed needed reforms to execute its original mandate.

“They bought our argument and even agreed to raise the matter at State Party Conference in November, saying ICC indeed needs reforms. The feeling was that ICC gives more hearing to civil societies that it does to State parties”, said Duale.

Why should we not all live in peace and harmony ? we look up the same stars , we are fellow passengers on the same planet and dwell beneath the same sky , what matters it along which road each individual endeavours to reach the ultimate truth ? the riddle of existence is too great that there should be only one road leading us to an answer
