Lawyers for President #Uhuru #Kenyatta at the #ICC on Wednesday urged the court to terminate the case saying the prosecution had been given enough time to prepare. After five years of fruitless investigations, the Prosecution must not be permitted to engage in a disingenuous referral of responsibility for the collection of broad categories of evidence to the Government of Kenya, having presented a false case against Mr Kenyatta,” the defence team said in an application dated 10 September quoted by The Standard Media Group . ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda last week urged the court to postpone the Uhuru case indefinitely saying the Kenya government had failed to comply with requests for the president’s financial records. Uhuru legal team has dismissed this excuse saying the records actually prove their case. The Standard cites the lawyers response as being: These records in fact undermine the Prosecutions case, showing that Mr Kenyatta was not involved in the post-election violence. The Defence submits that it is unfair that representations as to the quality of the evidence in this case have been consistently ignored and the case permitted to continue.” What do you make of Uhuru’s team’s reply to Bensouda?
