Just another elite vomiting on the shoes of the hapless Kenyans getting rained on in IDP camps and the innocent blood crying for vengeance. Meanwhile the elites can continue arguing whether to drive around in Mercedes or Passat.

Mr. Thuita Kenyans do not live in your world where Justice is served. Most Kenyans don't live in Mr. Mwangi's World. Everybody has agreed Ocampo has to go through the Evidence presented by Waki. What is your problem ? Please mind you own business and let Ocampo do his part..

Thuita Mwangi is a weird fellow. Ati as PS? He is in Kenya but does not underrstand its citizenry. With fellows like this you can understand why not a single mastermind of the PEV has been taken to court. What is state sovereignity if the very state condones and promotes impunity? This regime should go as soon as the new constitution is adopted so that we can elect a government that is sensitive and responsive to the needs of its citizenry.

Well reasoned arguments we need a special tribunal to meet international standards that is according to Hon Imanyara bill .But if the Mps choose to shoot down the Bill then too bad they should suggest ways to improve on it rather than throw away the baby with the birthwaters just because of some congenital defects .

Mr. Thuita, that was an intelligent piece of writing meant for elitist minds like yours. If you've been staying in this country for long, please ask God for wisdom to help you understand that the Kenyan justice system is a basket case.
