The Perfect Defence for Uhuru Kenyatta.

Uhuru Kenyatta carves the image of a thoroughbred cowboy, the type of man who solves his own problems. Uhuru Kenyatta comes through as a iron minded and strong willed personality who does not bargain or compromise with anyone. Uhuru is the kind of man who doesn’t answer questions, the kind of man who doesn’t have dilemmas, the man with only one road, the man who speaks his mind and thinks with his guts. Simply put, Uhuru is a rather arrogant man and I suspect that he might not even take a lawyer to the Hague, he will simply strike the prosecution down with nasty one liners…let me illustrate..

Prosecution: Mr. Uhuru, why was your name on the Ocampo list?

Uhuru: Ask Ocampo….(end of conversation)

I think I understand why the suspects are not very serious, apparently they were informed that Ocampo is a director who likes to script and direct reality TV shows about political violence. I am afraid many suspects think that the ICC is Big Brother Africa and they expect some eliminations and some prize money at the end.

Theatrics aside, I am worried that the ICC suspects are not taking the case with the seriousness it deserves and am afraid most are just playing politics at the ICC. There is no escaping the fact the many of these suspects could incriminate themselves with their defence strategies. On the first day of the pre trials Ruto staged a very emotional narrative about how a 13 year old boy called Kevin died in the violence, the sorry thing about this statement is that the boy was a voter, 13 year old voter? That aside, the consistent defence flaw is the attempt to indict Raila, Unfortunately trying to implicate Raila could be implied as an admission of guilt, and then again G7 politics are not especially a very good defence. Nevertheless I think I understand why the suspects are not very serious, apparently they were informed that Ocampo is a director who likes to script and direct reality TV shows about political violence. I am afraid many suspects think that the ICC is Big Brother Africa and they expect some eliminations and some prize money at the end.
