Kenyatta and his running mate
William Ruto will not be exempted
from ICC trials, even if they clinch
the top seat next month. The
International Criminal Court’s outreach coordinator Maria
Kamara reiterated that the Rome
Statute does not have a provision
for immunity for sitting presidents,
cabinet ministers or political
leaders, and that Kenyatta and Ruto will have to be physically
present at the Hague court, when
their trial begins on 10th and 11th
April. Kamara insisted that the
post election violence cases were
still intact, despite one of the star witnesses recanting his evidence
that was used to nail Kenyatta
and former head of civil service,
Ambassador Francis Muthaura
during the pre-trial hearings.
