Implication of ICC procecutions to Kenyans

I got an opportunity to listen to a lawyer with international reputation.
Ahmednasir Abdullahi is a commissioner with the Judicial Service Commissioner (JSC) and the editor of Law Monthly Magazine.

On the Ocampo Six ICC cases at the Hague he had this to say:

"I have always said and I am saying it, I mean, the Hague is a political process, it is a European court for Africans and if you look at the legal issues, I don't think there is a case really.....there was no investigations. I think that came out very clearly in terms of the evidence or alleged evidence that he (Ocampo) has is very poor, very poor.......Ocampo should be charged with professional misconduct, because he hasn't done a proper job as a prosecutor.

When you are prosecuting you must have a water tight case. If you don't have a water tight case, you must not prosecute and I think that history will judge him very harshly in my view no matter how the case goes because I think he has let down both the suspects and the victims in terms of what kind of investigations he did.... He is a drama queen really, he really enjoys when he talks on camera, but as a lawyer, I think he was very poor."
Kenyans are eyeing to the court proceedings and the desired political leaders for future leadership are featured here which is seen as a political game.The court's decision will affect Kenya's future positively or negatively.

Re: Implication of ICC procecutions to Kenyans
Everyone has his/her own opinion but i do not think it wise to speculate on issues before a decision is taken, otherwise you will be part of the problem instead of the solution. Matters of law have it's own experts and they should be left to do it.
