Case collapse proof that Raila will never be President

What you need to know:

  • None of the six Kenyans publicly named as suspects at the International Criminal Court for planning the post-2007 election violence is on trial.
  • Yet, the indictment of the six and the threat of prosecution was the choice tool to re-colonise Kenya and impose the wishes of the West by installing Raila Odinga as a puppet and lapdog of the West during the 2013 General Election.
  • Even as the world has changed its view of the Kenyatta-Ruto administration, courtesy of prayer and repentance, the court has held out, displaying unspeakable insensitivity, provocative arrogance and open disrespect - displayed in requiring Mr Ruto to seek permission before skipping hearings and denial of permission for Mr Sang to attend his daughter’s birthday party - all provocations meant to trigger defiance and attract sanction.
  • While there was a slim hope that Mr Odinga might be President Kenyatta’s running mate were the Deputy President to remain at the ICC, the end of the case means the attempt by imperial powers to impose him as a puppet leader in Kenya has failed.

Declining imperial powers in the West have this week been overfed on humble pie and are no longer issuing thinly veiled threats about choices having consequences.

None of the six Kenyans publicly named as suspects at the International Criminal Court for planning the post-2007 election violence is on trial.

Yet, the indictment of the six and the threat of prosecution was the choice tool to re-colonise Kenya and impose the wishes of the West by installing Raila Odinga as a puppet and lapdog of the West during the 2013 General Election.

After six years of humiliation and stigma, the case against Mr William Ruto and Mr Joshua arap Sang' - the last of two scapegoats before the ICC - was terminated.

It is not unlikely that the powers responsible for their persecution on account of their dark skin colour called each of the three judges at 3am demanding that they perform in the farcical pantomime of writing separate judgments to create the impression of independence.

The decision of The Hague-based court, a kangaroo contraption of imperialists, follows the withdrawal of charges against Mr Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr Francis Muthaura in April 2013 and December 2014, respectively, for lack of evidence.

FIGMENTS AND FABRICATIONS

These powers and their lackeys assembled an array of reckless figments and fabrications, which they paid people and coached them to repeat as evidence.

Onto these false fixers’ claims were piled licentious libel and exuberant prejudice.

Now, after the public humiliation of the imperialists, these declining powers are clutching at straws about political meddling and witness interference in the cases.

They are also demanding the extradition of three small fry for alleged witness tampering as a fig leaf to hide their eternal shame of being caught in the act of attempting to impose unpopular leaders on Kenya.

Spies for imperial nations knew from their listening posts in Nairobi that Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were crafting a deadly political alliance that would lock their puppet out of power.

The prosecutions - mainly targeting Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto but using Mr Muthaura, Mr Henry Kosgey, Mr Hussein Ali and Mr Sang as red herrings - were mere ruses and bait to pressurise Kenyans into adopting or renouncing certain positions.

The decisive election of Kenyatta and Ruto was a categorical rebuke to those who wanted to meddle in Kenya’s internal affairs and infringe its sovereignty.

Since then, world leaders have been trooping to Nairobi, cap in hand, begging for forgiveness.

PROVOCATIVE ARROGANCE

Even as the world has changed its view of the Kenyatta-Ruto administration, courtesy of prayer and repentance, the court has held out, displaying unspeakable insensitivity, provocative arrogance and open disrespect - displayed in requiring Mr Ruto to seek permission before skipping hearings and denial of permission for Mr Sang to attend his daughter’s birthday party - all provocations meant to trigger defiance and attract sanction.

The gratuitous summoning of Mr Kenyatta for a status conference where he was not required to speak, forcing him to lay down the presidency for 24 hours, is another case in point.

Despite cooperating with the ICC, the court gave the six martyrs no quarter. Every plea made before the court landed on deaf ears.

As President Kenyatta, himself a victim of the post-election violence aftermath, told the extraordinary summit of the African Union in September 2013, the ICC cases were all consistent with a political agenda rather than a quest for justice.

The post-election violence was a sad chapter in Kenya’s history that is best forgotten.

While there was a slim hope that Mr Odinga might be President Kenyatta’s running mate were the Deputy President to remain at the ICC, the end of the case means the attempt by imperial powers to impose him as a puppet leader in Kenya has failed.
