President Uhuru Kenyatta, and indeed most Kenyans, are pleased with the withdrawal of criminal charges against him by the ICC. He is now a free man, and neither his conscience nor the sovereignty of the people of Kenya is on trial anymore. The withdrawal will leave the President with more time, and peace of mind, to attend to the pressing issue of insecurity.
ICC will no longer be his Achilles heel, much less a blot on his legacy; but terrorist threats and rising insecurity will if unabated.
