KENYAN LEADERS REACT TO KOFI ANNAN SENTIMENTS


By David Muli


The former U.N.Secretary General of United Nation Mr Kofi Annan has heavily attacked the International Criminal Court (ICC) for clearing President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.

Early on, Annan had questioned the credibility on how the International criminal court handled the cases of the Kenyans suspects. It can be traced back that Kofi Annan was the man that settled the conflict that led to the 2007/2008 post election conflict.

However the Kenyan  Government officials have termed his remarks as outrageous and ridiculous  after his sentiments were published in the Financial Times, where Annan said that it was the  failure of  ICC to detain Uhuru and Mr Ruto during their cases that collapsed in their watch.

 They said Annan's comments confirmed that the former UN boss, who mediated talks in Kenya after the 2007/2008 post-election violence, was among international leaders who wanted President Kenyatta and Ruto jailed, even if there was no sufficient evidence against them.

"Now that his project has failed Mr. Kofi has nowhere  to hide as he was the one who wanted our people to be jailed", said Duale 


National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale sensationally claimed that Annan was speaking out of bitterness after his ICC project against Uhuru and Ruto failed.
