They say the writings are on the
wall but to Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko Mbuvi, the writings are on the head. As
millions of Kenyans Continue to pile pressure on president Uhuru Kenyatta not
to honour the ICC summons to appear before the judges at The Hague, Sonko has
come out to speak loudly through a hair cut with writings “ RAIS USIENDE ICCI”.
The October 8 summons issued by the
ICC requesting President Uhuru to attend a status conference has continued to
meet stiff resistance from Kenyans from all walks of life including opposition
MPs.
Sonko who is a well-known Uhuru
supporters and whom he fondly referred to as DIGITAL PRESIDENT is among the
millions of Kenyans who are opposed to the summons and is now urging the ICC to
use video link rather than have the democratically president travel all the way
to the Hague for a status conference.
“I consider this decision to summon
H.E Uhuru Kenyatta the President and Commander in Chief of the defense Forces
of the Republic of Kenya for Status conferences as a plot by the ICC to
humiliate and embarrass not only the President but the people of Kenya and by
extension the African Continent”. Said Sonko.
Sonko now says that rather than
having the President travel all the way to The Hague, it is only fair that the
Status conference be conducted through video link from State House Nairobi or
from the President’s residence. Status conference is not trial as it is just a
forum where procedural, house-keeping matters are discussed.
It is worth noting that the Chief
prosecutor Fatou Bensouda is in record for having publicly admitted that her
team has been hit by lack of evidence against H.E Uhuru. Recently, we witnessed
the confession by several witnesses that they were literally bribed to give
false evidence against Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Sang.
“Summoning H.E Uhuru is basically to
save the prosecutor’s dwindling fortune with the case and is therefore just
meant to divert attention away from the self-inflicted humiliation that the
prosecution team has gone through. It is therefore just a pure PUBLIC RELATIONS
exercise that is meant to save the face of ICC and to embarrass the people of
Kenya” said Sonko.
