“When one listens to those who are calling for an end to the ICC, one fears that their real desire, apart from seeking the freedom of Uhuru and Ruto, is to remove the threat of the ICC to leaders who want to reestablish dictatorship in Kenya, with complete impunity against prosecution by the ICC or a local court, which they are not promising to establish as a substitute for the ICC. Therefore, if withdrawal of Kenya from the ICC will usher in a second dictatorship in Kenya, let Kenyans be forewarned that, as the Kikuyu proverb says, the disease that returns is the disease that kills. Kenyans cannot and will not reestablish dictatorship without dire consequences.” That’s an excerpt from an op-ed by former MP Koigi Wamwere recently carried by The Star, Kenya . Does #Kenya risk dictatorship if it pulls out of the #ICC?
