WITHOUT TRYING THE TWO PRINCIPLES, JUSTICE IS HALF SERVED

Ruto’s sentiments that the principles should be investigated by the ICC should be taken seriously. Why? I even sincerely think that they should be charged alongside the other people being investigated.
As any other Kenyan, I would like to believe that after the ICC indicts the six main suspects, justice will be served, that the Kenyan who lost his wife and children in a church fire will feel served, that the one who ran at night leaving everything he has invested in would feel contented, and that is not even close to the truth.
I would also like to blame organized gangs like the Mungiki foe the violence. I can’t, because these people were used by politicians from the different camps to create fear and death.
Now let me say where the principles come in. they were the heads of the different camps, its hard for me to believe that all these activities by their juniors went on without their consent or knowledge, how they reacted to it Kenyans need to know. That is the job of the ICC
It is also evident that although they did not condone the violence publicly, they were not against it either. They used it to their selfish ends. They used the fear and deaths perpetuated by organized gangs from their camps as a bargaining tool for power sharing.
While Kenyans were dying, wailing and sleeping on the roads and out in the cold, they sat took tea and told Koffi Annan what they wanted and what they didn’t want, what power slot they would take, which one they wouldn’t, how the other camp should behave and all sorts of selfish claims. At that point I hate to but I believe that deep down in their hearts they wanted the violence to go on until they got the best bargain from their opponents
People fought because the two camps decided to rig the elections in different areas, somebody else decided to swear in the president in mysterious circumstances. That is what fuelled the violence apart from the fact that the violence was preplanned. However you want to look at it, in the initial stages of the chaos, both the principles could have stopped it but they chose to go the selfish way. That is crime just as big as preplanning the violence. It might even be bigger than preplanning.
Now what runs through my mind is the fact that Ruto has been in the middle of the Hague investigation. Ruto knows an awful lot of things regarding the top dogs involved in the post election chaos. He has also agreed to provide the ICC with information if he believes that the president and the PM need to be investigated who am I to say otherwise. he might be having evidence. The ICC should follow up and see how this goes.
