THE ICC VERDICT

Four (4) of the accused Ruto, Uhuru, Muthaura and Sang, have their cases confirmed. HoN. Kosgey and Ali escaped the nooze. The four will now proceed to another caught to face and defend their cases. Meanwhile, they are to interact and move freely until their cases are determined in ICC Court. Kenyans watched keenly the proceedings of ICC and leaders did a commendable work by preaching peace. There was no room for hate speech. Some media houses engaged in high lighting passed events which wre awry and could easily heighten tension for no reason at all. The clashes in the country were worsened by poor handling of the matter by the media. For example a political scientist in KTN Live kept telling Kenyans that, "If Kibaki is sworn in there would be bloodshed in the country and if Raila is sworn in there would be peace". Tension was high in the country then and it was irresponsible journalism for KTN to keep fueling the already polorised nation. KTN was actualy pouring petrol and ligting the match.

Kenyans have proven that they love peace and cannot be drawn into matters affecting individuals. Long live Kenya, long live Kenyans. One people, one Nation.
