KENYAN ASSEMBLY PASSES ICC MOTION HERE ARE KENYAN'S REACTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Posted by Unknown at 16:59 | 0 comments

The National Assembly has passed a motion that seeks to withdraw Kenya from the International Criminal Court.
A bill to effect the withdrawal is expected to the tabled in the House within 30 days.
The MPs' move to approve the motion comes just days before the trial of Deputy President William Ruto and former radio presenter Joshua arap Sang for crimes against humanity opens at The Hague.
Majority Leader Aden Duale introduced the motion in Parliament.
On Tuesday, Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso, through a gazette notice, recalled the House to discuss the motion.

    "Don't be vague, let's go to the Hague!" is what I heard some people say not too long ago. It's funny how things change.

    They say history repeats itself. Fast rewind to 1944. The setting: The animal farm
    “My sight is failing,” Clover said finally. “Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?” For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It read: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.

    Situation in Kenya is getting scary by the day. I won't be surprised that this government's/parliament next move will be to suspend next elections to continue protecting these same friends of theirs.

    You MPs know and we Kenyans know that withdrawing from ICC is not the answer. And I dare say ICC is not the answer either. We Kenyans should purpose to do the right thing and the right thing is to respect human rights regardless of race, religion, tribe, sex or sexual orientation now and always. This is the answer.
    If we are not able to do this, or we are not ready then withdrawing will haunt us and we'll crawl back begging we be readmitted.

    This is a bad precedence for the ruling coalition. This leaders are now operating with GREED and EMOTIONS instead of the rule of law and the best interest of Kenya not just now but also going forward and the future.

    I have no trust in the ICC and the Laws of the ICC do not apply fairly to everyone. To me it is a bullying tool designed to subjugate those who are supposedly can not govern themselves. I think Kenyans, from hereon, should reform and reinforce the laws that in place in their country and not expect the so called international bodies to be their justice system. Having said that, I don't think Mr. Kenyatta and Mr. Ruto should escape justice. They should have their day in court and should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    Thanks to the Duale and his jubilee counterparts.
    Kenya is on her way back to the dark ages. We will not only be reminded of the Kenyatta and Moi killings, but we will witness more killings and injustice across this country like never before. There can be no justice in Kenya so the brutal killers have shut the ICC door in exchange for more killings and impunity. What a shame!

    this is one step backwards while also we are suffering from increase of tax they should be focusing on that

    If we had ICC we would not have had the Gov.'s brutal force during the
    shifta war of 1967, we would not have had the Wagarra Massacre of 1984,
    our people would not have been killed in the tribal clashes of 1992 and
    1997 and there would not have been any PEV of 2007. It's ICC that gave
    us peace in 2013.I love ICC and Kenyans love ICC too.

    This definitely is not the best way to lock horns with the ICC, in addition its way too late.

    Let MPs have the courage of their convictions by introducing another bill to quit UN (and its affiliate organizations), World Bank, IMF, and quit begging money from those countries they accuse of being behind ICC. Yesterday, I heard Duale argue that we can quit ICC because US is not a member either. Fair enough even though it sounded like an immature reasoning. We will soon find out that US punches at a much heavier weight than we do. If my memory serves me right, there was a carrot and stick nudging before we agreed to join ICC. Expect those pressure points to re-emerge.
