#DearSonOfJomo @UKenyatta #ICCTrialsKE Asked about his opinion on the #ICC indicting sitting African leaders, Botswana President Sir Seretse Khama Ian Khama once again stepped out of line with the AU position on the matter. “Now someone once said to me, ‘Should a sitting president, while he is in office, have to appear before the ICC, shouldnt he rather wait until his term of office has concluded and then he goes to the criminal court?’ “My answer to that person was that Muammar Gaddafi was in power for 40 years. We have others on this continent who have been in power for 30 years, 20 years. Are you suggesting that if any president commits a crime, maybe earlier on in his term, the victims have to wait 10, 20, 30, 40 years before there is justice? “I think being president shouldnt protect us from appearing before the court,” he said.
