ICC judges summon Ocampo Six



​

A picture released on December 15, 2010 by the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) shows the six Kenyans, named on Wednesday by prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, alleged to have masterminded the 2007-08 post-election violence that claimed 1,500 lives

International Criminal Court (ICC) judges have summoned the Ocampo Six after finding that there are grounds they are criminally responsible for the post election violence.

The suspects, who have come to be referred to as the Ocampo Six, include Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, head of civil service and secretary to the cabinet Francis Muthaura, suspended Higher Education Minister William Ruto, suspended Industrialisation Minister Henry Kosgei, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and radio presenter Julius Sang.

The pre-trial judges ordered that all the six appear at The Hague on April 7.

ICC prosecutor Loius Moreno Ocampo identified them as the most culpable over the violence that rocked Kenya at the end of 2007 and at the beginning of 2008, leaving over 1,300 dead and more than 600,000 homeless.

To appear at "The Hague", in the Netherlands?

Things are not looking good to the Ocampo 6. If the ICC was the Arusha one, you know what I mean, my boys could be a little bit happier, but down in the Dutch land, The Royal Court? Mh Mh

 

[Nyauba]

The Ocampo 6 have difficult times ahead!! I hope the PNU govt side will try to block the move as so far tried but it will end in vein.

New chapter to silence tribal and ethnic violence in Kenya.

That's why I believe Chadema should not suspend the countrywide maandamano.

Nimemsikia Mbowe radioni leo asubuhi anasema eti yata-resume April... I think that's being too slow!!
Mbowe/Dr Slaa......hit the iron while it's still hot, cant you see that??!!

Hawa jamaa (CCM) wana hasira na maandamano ya mfululizo ya Chadema - let CCM swallow it sinker, hook & line and qualify themselves into proper Ocampo candidates!

Ocampo Six accept Hague summons
​

By JILLO KADIDA and JACOB NG’ETICH
Posted Wednesday, March 9 2011 at 11:29

All the six suspects targeted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague on Wednesday confirmed they will honour summonses to appear.

Hussein Ali (former Police Commissioner), Joshua Sang (Kass FM presenter), Henry Kosgey (suspended Industrialisation Minister), Uhuru Kenyatta (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance), William Ruto (suspended Minister for Higher Education) and Francis Muthaura (Secretary to the Cabinet and Head of the Civil Service) all confirmed they will honour the ICC summons.

The last to confirm, Mr Muthaura said: "I remain willing to co-operate and abide by all decisions that may be issued by the judges of the ICC and undertake to comply with any and all conditions that may be required of me. My interest is, and always has been, that the rule of law shall prevail so that justice is done."

Mr Ali, through his lawyer Evans Monari, said he will be at The Hague on April 7 as ordered.
"I have received instructions from my client and we are making arrangements to be at the court at 2.30pm on April 7," Mr Monari told Nation.co.ke.

Mr Kosgey said: "I will go The Hague as per the summons, my conscience is clear I have no case."

Mr Kenyatta made his confirmation through Facebook and Twitter.

He said: "I am grateful that I will finally have the opportunity to be heard and am entirely confident of my innocence."

Mr Sang said that he will fully cooperate with the ICC following the summons.

"I will use that opportunity to prove my innocence in the court," said the radio presenter.

Judges at the ICC's Pre-trial Chamber II on Tuesday ruled that there were grounds to show that Mr Ali, Mr Sang and four other prominent Kenyans were criminally liable for the post election violence that rocked the country in the aftermath to the disputed presidential election in 2007.​

Protests as Kalonzo presents deferral case
​

Kenyans living in the US on March 9, 2011 participate in a peaceful demonstration outside the UN headquarters as Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka argued for deferral of the post-election violence cases.

Posted Wednesday, March 9 2011 at 13:04

NEWYORK: Dozens of Kenyans living in the US on Tuesday held a peaceful demonstration outside the UN headquarters as Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka argued for deferral of the post election violence cases.

The protesters asked for the speedy trial of the cases at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and described the deferral campaign as a waste of energy and taxpayers' money.

"We want justice!" the demonstrators chanted. "We support the ICC!"

Many of the demonstrators held poster-size photos showing injuries and maimings suffered by victims of the violence that the Ocampo Six are said to have instigated.

"We want to show our concern that the IDPs [internally displaced persons] not be forgotten," said Peter Kerre, lead organiser of the half-day protest. Thousands of Kenyans have still not been resettled and continue living in camps more than three years after being forced from their homes in the turmoil following the disputed 2007 election.

About 1,500 Kenyans were killed in that tribal-based violence as well.

The protest in a park across the street from the UN's New York headquarters took place as the Vice President held meetings with diplomats from some of the countries with seats on the 15-member Security Council.

Mr Musyoka is seeking council support for a government plea to cede jurisdiction over the six cases to a Kenya-based tribunal that the government promises to create. But at least some council members appear unwilling to strip the Hague-based International Criminal Court of its authority over this matter.

Text Messages

Kenya's UN mission in New York did not respond to the Nation's requests for an interview with Mr Musyoka on Tuesday.

Mr Kerre, the protest leader, said he has passed on to the New York Police Department a series of text messages he received in recent days warning that his life is in danger.

The threats were linked to his protest organising efforts, Mr Kerre said.

As Mr Kalonzo put up his case, the protesters said a prayer and sang the national anthem outside the UN offices before presenting their petition to the Kenyan mission to New York.

"The government should stop misusing money in this futile campaign. The money should be used to resettle the violence victims and create jobs for the youth," said Ms Daphine Ogega, one of the organisers.

However, a group opposed to the protest is said to have offered $250 to buy possible demonstrators out of it.

"We were joined by citizens of other African countries and as we were chanting, we were overwhelmed to hear that the ICC judges had summoned the suspects," Ms Ogega told Nation.co.ke from New York.

"We must stand strong against efforts to defeat justice for the violence victims," said Beatrice Ruto, in support of the protest.

Quest

According to the Mr Musyoka's press service, his delegation briefed Mr Ban on Kenya's quest to put in place a local judicial process to try the suspects.

The VP also indicated that Kenya was determined to handle the violence cases following the enactment of a new Constitution that has set a strong foundation for reforms in the judiciary.

Kenya to challenge poll chaos case at The Hague

By BERNARD NAMUNANE (bnamunane@ke.nationmedia.dom)
Posted Wednesday, March 9 2011 at 16:06


The Kenya government will challenge admissibility of Kenya case at the International Criminal Court.

"The government will challenge the admissibility of the cases as well as the jurisdiction of the court," said a statement by Attorney-General Amos Wako, Internal Security Minister Prof George Saitoti and Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Mutula Kilonzo.

The government said the move was within Kenya's right as contained in the Rome Statute, given that it has jurisdiction over the six suspects wanted by the ICC.

The Pre-trial Chamber II of the ICC on Tuesday found that there were grounds that six leading Kenyans were criminally liable for the violence that left 1,300 Kenyans killed and more than 600,000 homeless after chaos broke following a disputed presidential election at the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008.

The ICC judges ordered the six suspects to appear at The Hague on April 7.

Agreement

The ICC took the Kenya case after parliament rejected moves to set up a local tribunal and asked that the cases be referred to The Hague. The government had earlier signed an agreement to cooperate with ICC on the cases.

The suspects are Uhuru Kenyatta (Deputy Prime Minister), Francis Muthaura (Secretary to the Cabinet and Head of the Civil Service) and Hussein Ali (former Police Commissioner, currently the chief executive of the government-owned Postal Corporation) who are deemed to have acted in support of President Kibaki's Party of National Unity (PNU).

The others are William Ruto (Minister for Higher Education, currently suspended on an unrelated corruption case), Henry Kosgey (Minister for Industrialisation, currently suspended on an unrelated corruption case) and Joshua Sang' (Radio presenter at Kass FM) who are deemed to have acted in support of Prime Minister Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

The chaos ended after Kibaki and Raila agreed to form a grand coalition government after signing a peace deal brokered by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.

Article 17 of the Rome Statute says:
Having regard to paragraph 10 of the Preamble and article 1, the Court shall determine that a case is inadmissible where:
(a) The case is being investigated or prosecuted by a State which has jurisdiction over it, unless the State is unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out the investigation or prosecution;
(b) The case has been investigated by a State which has jurisdiction over it and the State has decided not to prosecute the person concerned, unless the decision resulted from the unwillingness or inability of the State genuinely to prosecute;
(c) The person concerned has already been tried for conduct which is the subject of the complaint, and a trial by the Court is not permitted under article 20, paragraph 3;
(d) The case is not of sufficient gravity to justify further action by the Court.

These guys are afraid of the cold and lack of Ugali. But the IDP's have been living in the cold for too long. If they are innocent then they should go to court to prove their innocence. They will meet Charles Taylor and maybe learn afew tricks while in the Hague. The leaders should lead by example if not the world will make an example of you.

Kibaki letters warn ICC bid is 2012 ‘power grab'

Kenya wants the cases facing the Ocampo Six postponed because the trials may lock out Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto from the 2012 presidential race, triggering fresh violence.

In separate letters to the United Nations Security Council and the Assembly of State Parties to the Rome Statute, Kenya says two of the six suspected masterminds of the post-election violence are front-runners in the Kibaki succession race and their prosecution in the run-up to the 2012 election may cause renewed violence.

In a letter to the President of the Assembly of State Parties to the Rome Statute, Mr Christian Wenaweser, Kenya's permanent representative to the UN, Mr Macharia Kamau warns that the indictment of the Ocampo Six in the run-up to the 2012 general elections poses a "real and present danger" to security in the country because some of them are presidential front-runners while others are top security officials.

"Some of the individuals mentioned by the ICC prosecutor are among the front-runner presidential candidates and the civil servants mentioned are in office and charged with responsibilities for peace and security. Needless to say therefore, the pending ICC indictments pose a real and present danger to the exercise of government and management of peace and security in the country," Mr Macharia warns in the letter, dated February 28.

Kenya seems to have Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto in mind when it talks of the front-runners in the 2012 presidential elections and Public Service Head Francis Muthaura, whose position puts him at the helm of the National Security Council.

The three other individuals named by Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo as bearing the greatest responsibility are suspended Industrialisation minister Henry Kosgey, former police commissioner Major Gen (rtd) Hussein Ali and radio personality Joshua Sang.

"The United Nations Security Council, as a political body, is best placed to make an assessment that in the context of a coalition government and in light of the forthcoming general elections in 2012, the pace of implementation of the constitution will inevitably suffer setbacks in light of the heightened political manoeuvring underway in the build-up to the Presidential elections of 2012.

This is particularly the case for Kenya in view of the fact that two of the three front-runners are themselves subject to the on-going ICC investigations and have already received communication from the ICC prosecutor," Kenya argues.

The appeals come in the wake of what is turning out to be a futile diplomatic offensive led by Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka to convince the Security Council to defer the Kenyan cases by 12 months.

The US, a powerful member of the Security Council has already said it will oppose the move, denting Kenya's chances of securing the reprieve it is seeking.

Kenya says that even though President Kibaki will not be in the 2012 race, he believes that the ICC process is being used by "internal and external" forces to lock out some presidential hopefuls in order to hand power to their opponents.

"Is a rush to undertake the pre-trial process in the political climate of a presidential campaign worth the risk of destabilising the country and a return to violence and loss of lives in Kenya?" it asks.

"The ongoing ICC process has a potential risk to ignite violence, breakdown of law and order and loss of life in Kenya," the Kenya government warns.

Interestingly, Attorney General Amos Wako is blamed for Kenya's initial failure to have the cases handled through a local mechanism.

The letter says this was President Kibaki's intention and he was let down by the AG and the wrangles in the coalition government.

In the letter to the president of the Security Council, Mr Li Baodong, Kenya says the naming of the Ocampo Six has slowed down the implementation of the new constitution and poisoned the political climate.

"The premature and prejudicial naming of six individuals by the ICC as bearing the greatest responsibility for the PEV has slowed down the implementation of the new constitution, the reform process and poisoned the delicate political climate," the letter says.

Kenya, however, says that its request to have the cases postponed does not amount to condoning impunity or shielding the suspects.

"Those guilty of violence will be pursued, of this, there's no doubt. The question is whether this should happen in the midst of an emotive presidential campaign.

"Kenya seeks to strengthen and uphold the principle of complementarity under the Rome Statute and to facilitate continued implementation of the new constitution while helping forestall potential violence and chaos," it goes on.

Mr Musyoka is reported to have presented a similar letter to UN secretary general Ban ki-moon in New York on Wednesday.

hii gava ya kenya saa ingine is f#cking useless

The ODM wing of the coalition govt has petitioned the UNSC not to along with the deferell angle being advocated by the PNU side of govt via VP Kalonzo Musyoka.

Your Excellency,

RE: PETITION TO THE MEMBERS OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE KENYAN CASES AT THE ICC

It is my pleasure and privilege to refer to the ongoing International Criminal Court proceedings relating to Kenya and the deferral request made by a section of the Government of Kenya to the United Nations Security Council.

Background:

The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kenya presented to the United Nations and to all the Permanent and Observer Missions to the United Nations an Aide Memoire titled "Kenya's Reform Agenda and Engagement with International Criminal Court (ICC)".

Kenya's Vice-President, H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka has led a delegation to the UN Secretary General to discuss the Aide Memoire, alongside the Communiqué of the 17th Extra-Ordinary Session of the IGAD Assembly of Heads of State and Government on Sudan, Somalia and Kenya, and the African Union Decision on the Implementation of the Decisions on the International Criminal Court on the deferral/referral of the Kenyan Cases at the ICC.

It is important for the UN Members, the Security Council and Secretary-General to have a complete picture and understanding of the situation in Kenya before making any determination on the Aide Memoire from President Kibaki.

This petition presents a set of incontrovertible facts which will assist The Security Council and other interested parties to understand why the Kenyan Cases at the ICC should neither be deferred nor referred. These facts justify why the ongoing ICC process is the best and only means of securing justice to the innocent victims of Kenya's post election violence of 2007/8. It is imperative to underline the fact that the institutions, groups and individuals that were allegedly involved in the planning and execution of the crimes against humanity during the 2007/8 post-election violence in Kenya continue to operate unfettered and occupy important positions of power within and outside government.

Sixteen Reasons Why the Kenyan Cases at the ICC must neither be Deferred nor Referred to Kenya:

• 
  [*]The prosecution of the Kenyan Cases at the ICC does not pose any threat to international peace and security. To the contrary, failure to bring to justice the perpetrators of post-election violence poses grave danger to Kenya's internal peace and security.
  [*]The ICC process was unanimously approved by the two parties under the Annan-brokered National Accord, and the instruments that paved the way for the process were signed by both the President and the Prime Minister for and on behalf of their respective political parties, which form a coalition.
  [*]The great majority of Kenyans (more than eighty per cent) support the ICC process as the most credible method to fighting the culture of impunity in Kenya. Surveys by leading institutions in the country have repeatedly confirmed this position.
  [*]Local (Kenyan) trials will be exposed to:
  
  • political manipulation by leaders pleading the ethnic card;
  • threats to witnesses, their families and friends. Indeed, many
    witnesses have been hunted down and killed by State security agents; and
  • undue delays engineered by frivolous and vexatious applications.
  
  [*]Local trials are not possible at the moment as there is no national judicial mechanism in place to handle the cases. There have been no investigations and prosecutions since the crimes were committed more than three years ago. Moreover, the criminal justice system has not been reformed to enable it to handle the cases. Although Kenya has enacted the International Crimes Act, it is in doubt as to whether Kenyan courts have jurisdiction over the international crimes committed before January 2009 when the Act became operational.
  [*]The judicial reforms contemplated under the new Constitution have not been implemented. The judges and magistrates have not been vetted.
  There is no independent prosecutorial authority.
  [*]The involvement of the ICC was necessitated by Kenya's rejection to establish a national judicial mechanism to deal with the crimes committed. In fact, the Government of Kenya repeatedly made verbal and written commitments to cooperate with the ICC and indicated that if it was unable to prosecute the perpetrators of the 2007/08 post election violence by September 2009, the ICC should do so. Those written and public commitments were made by the Government to the ICC Prosecutor both at The Hague and during his official visits to
  Nairobi.
  [*]Local trials will be used to shield the suspects from justice. This was recently demonstrated by the nominations of Mr. Githu Muigai and Mr. Kioko Kilukumi to the positions of Attorney-General and Director of Public Prosecutions, respectively, while they are on record as lawyers for two of the ICC suspects. In addition, an ICC suspect chaired the Panel that identified and nominated Justice Visram to the position of new Chief Justice. Although President Kibaki was forced to withdraw his nominations through public outcry, a court order and stinging
  resolutions of the National Assembly Speaker, the Judicial Service Commission, the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution, the Law Society of Kenya, the Federation of Women Lawyers and nearly all Kenyan civil society groups; it demonstrated the extent to which President Kibaki's Party of National Unity and the six individuals summoned by the ICC would go to defeat the cause of justice.
  [*]The request for a deferral of the Kenyan cases pending before the ICC has been made by one side of the Kenyan coalition government, namely the Party of National Unity headed by President Mwai Kibaki. The Orange Democratic Movement headed by the Prime Minister Raila Odinga, does not support that request.
  [*]Because of the significant positions held in and influence the suspects wield within Government, they are the ones spearheading the deferral request as a means of defeating the cause of justice. Ultimately, the six suspects the ICC has summoned intend to use the deferral, if granted, as the basis of perpetuating the culture of impunity in Kenya.
  [*]The deferral request should therefore be seen as evidence that the Party of National Unity and President Mwai Kibaki are both unwilling and unable to prosecute the six suspects for the crimes alleged by the ICC.
  [*]Since 1992, each general election has been characterized by state sponsored violence and ethnic cleansings leading to mass deaths, evictions, rapes and arson. While there have been official judicial inquiries on these crimes, no prosecutions have ever been conducted, and no culprits have been punished.
  [*]Extra-judicial killings have increased significantly since 2003. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Prof. Philip Alston has investigated and made far-reaching findings and
  recommendations. However, the Government has not taken any action.
  [*]Both the Cabinet and Kenyan Parliament have on more than two occasions rejected Bills for the establishment of a local tribunal for the cases and instead declared that the trials should be held at The Hague.
  [*]The ICC process is the only opportunity that Kenyans have to break the culture of impunity and the circle of elections-related violence.
  [*]In view of the foregoing the request for deferral does not qualify or merit consideration by the UN Security Council within the provisions of Article 16 of the Rome Statute, or through any other provisions. This is particularly the case because the Kenyan Situation at the ICC was not originated by a referral by the UN Security Council. Consequently, the request for a deferral is an unwarranted interference with the Court's mandate, its independence and impartiality.

We therefore submit that the request for a deferral by a section of the Kenyan Government be rejected as being incompetent and frivolous.

On behalf of the Orange Democratic Movement and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, The Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, EGH, MP, I would like to request you to bring this letter to the attention of all Council Members of the Security Council and to have it issued as a document of the Council, as a matter of great urgency.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Then we are meant to believe that the AU will 'walk out' of the ICC if Kenya's case is not deferred. This chap from Uganda is crazy...What the hell is man smoking?....:hatari::hatari::hatari:!!!

AU Plans Mass Walkout From ICC
​

Kenyatta University don Dr Godfrey Musila - who's an expert in international law - told Capital FM's Talk 360 show on Sunday evening that the AU was in the process of developing a document which, if approved, will enable the formation of a parallel African court on criminal justice.

"The Kenyan situation is a trap for the ICC. (African countries) will be saying we are withdrawing from the ICC, not because we support impunity, but because we want to form our own institution," he explained.

Speaking on the show, Ugandan international conflict resolution expert Dr David Matsanga pointed out that veto-wielding states in the UN Security Council would be condemning the ICC should they block Kenya's bid.

"(Kenya) is trying to save the International Criminal Court from collapse. Come July this year, if the Kenyan deferral is not given, the 32 countries of the AU in the ICC will remove their membership," he stated.

"The (AU) leaders have now vowed; we sent the Sudan deferral case to the Security Council and America played, so now let us send the second deferral from Kenya and see what it will do."

The two experts made the revelation barely a day after Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka jetted back into the country exuding confidence that his mission to lobby members of the Security Council to support Kenya's prayers would bear fruit.

On Saturday, the UN decision making organ invited Kenya and an AU representative to an informal meeting where members would hear the country's argument for a 12-month postponement of the on-going ICC proceedings.

Kenya's permanent representative to the United Nations Macharia Kamau will lead the delegation to meet the UN Security Council for the informal talks.

Britain and America who are part of the five permanent members have expressed their reservation to the deferral bid, but Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka said he made efforts to "deal with the two so that they can abstain from a possible vote."

Dr Matsanga explained that an abstention would be the most logical route for the two countries to take, arguing that Kenya's support from the African Union was weighing heavily in its favour.

"The best America can do is to abstain, because it has no moral authority to discuss human rights when it is not even a signatory to the Rome Statute," he said.

The Security Council can issue a one-year suspension if there is a threat to international peace and security. The ICC pre-trial chamber last Tuesday ordered the six Kenyans to appear before the court on April 7 on charges that they masterminded the post-election violence.

Those required to appear at The Hague include Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura, suspended Higher Education Minister William Ruto and Tinderet Member of Parliament Henry Kosgey.

Others are former Police Commissioner Mohammed Hussein Ali and Radio presenter Joshua arap Sang.

All six have indicated their intention to honour the ICC summonses.
