Kenyan MPs have approved a motion to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC)
MPs have every right to demonstrate their political support, but they should be cautious about actions that may boomerang on the intended beneficiaries.
Kenyatta and Ruto have insisted on their respect for the ICC and have made it clear they will continue to co-operate with it despite having risen to the highest offices in the land. The ICC, in turn, has given the accused certain latitudes, including allowing them to defend themselves while not in custody.
I ask myself sometimes that does the I.C.C founded to deal with war criminals from third world countries? American, French, England etc. All west criminals are decorated usually with Nobel prize. Is that fair?
So, it tends to be a hammer to beat-up weaker nations - mainly in Africa. Disgraceful.
The I.C.C will have a job with credibility as long as Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, Rove, Feith, Libby and the other War Criminals do not face the International Criminal Court for their mass killings of civilians who had done nothing.
I applaud the Kenyan Parliament's decision.
