I am glad the people of Kenya remained peaceful while the Supreme Court undertook the important task of dealing with the election challenges. I hope now that Kenya can get on with the task of growing and developing it's democracy. <br /><br />The US talking about consequences needs to remember that they do not support the ICC process. They do not recognize it, neither do they fund it. They also need to remember that the justice system in NA and at the ICC is built on the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Sadly I've been following the ICC process and it looks like all the charges are built on a house of sand. One by one the cases are being dropped. I think it is only a matter of time for the same to happen with Uhuru Kenyatta. Louis Moreno Ocampo did no service to the ICC, a lot of talk and very little proper homework. Having said that I realize it is difficult for outsiders to truly know what is going on in Kenya or anywhere else where almost everyone has a skewed view based on ethnic affiliation. I think that will change in time. I see the beginnings of that already.

With histories so rich in corruption, I suppose it's probably well-justified. We were in Gabon for one election. (The election prior, there were riots.) Luckily, it was peaceful however it wasn't long before allegations began. In the end, all of them were swept under the rug and nothing changed. Many locals were expressing that they weren't going to bother to vote anymore because they felt it didn't matter when the outcome would be previously decided. I wonder if an election does go fairly, if we'll ever feel secure in the outcome?<br /><br />I hope Kenya finds resolutions peacefully and just. We'll be watching closely!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585816729964741872noreply@blogger.com
