Politicians at The Hague do no represent the interest of Kenyans

Kenyan members of parliament who are at The Hague don’t substantially represent the people of Kenya.

They come from one political party and two communities out of the forty two communities that make the society of Kenya. Their demands for the changes on the Rome statute are not demands of Kenyans. These members of parliament are only doing this out of political chauvinism but not in support of social justice and democracy in Kenya or anywhere else in the world. It is an embarrassment to modern consciousness, a paradox to democracy and impeachment of natural justice as well as fundamental human rights for political leaders in Kenya to selfishly push for the purges on the Rome statute for the sake of two accused persons at the cost of more than two thousand families of victims who were brutally affected in the post election violence in 2007 and 2008 elections in Kenya.
