The Special Tribunal Bill: Kenyans Experiencing the Bitter Taste of Impunity.
‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’. Meaning that for Kenyans to fully test something they need to experience it themselves. We have seen Parliament boycott the debating chamber whenever the Special Tribunal Bill came up for debate. Now Kenyans are experiencing the bitter taste of Impunity. The Special Tribunal Bill has received no support from Mwai Kibaki or Raila Odinga, the two principals and signatories of the National Accord. The test here was for the two Principals and they have failed. Parliament has also failed Kenyans and the Victims of the Post Election Violence.
We as Kenyans see no reason whatsoever, for the continuation of this Grand Coalition Government. The Two Principals Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga should be the first victims of the ICC as they bear the greatest responsibility and are the beneficiaries of the Post Election Violence which caused a Constitutional Amendment creating a National Accord that enabled them to share power. If Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga had lived up to their end of the bargain with Kenyans, the government would have supported the Special tribunal Bill that would have seen Justice for the Victims of Post Election Violence.
Kofi Annan is back in town. What will the Principals be telling the eminent persons on the Special Tribunal for Kenya? Will Mr Annan say that there has been progress? We look forward to Mr Ocampo picking up Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga and sending them to the Hague. Lets not be Vague! Or at least that should be the position if the two principals by Wednesday next week have not whipped their party members into attending the division when the Special Tribunal Bill comes up for a vote.
