International Criminal Court Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo has said the names of suspected masterminds of post election violence will be known in two weeks.

He said he will file two cases involving six individuals at The Hague before December 17.

"Before December 17, we will file two cases of about 80 pages each summarising the facts and analysing the evidence collected," Mr Moreno-Ocampo said at the start of a two-day conference to review progress on Kenya reforms at the Crowne Hotel, Nairobi Thursday.

"There are two cases, each involving three individuals who have to face justice. They have to go to The Hague. Their names will be known.

"These six individuals are still presumed innocent, their guilt or innocence shall be proved by the judges after the judicial process and not before."

Mr Moreno-Ocampo also warned those interfering with witnesses that his office has jurisdiction to arrest those obstructing justice.

He said that he had taken up the matter at the highest level of the Kenya Government.
