Uhuru’s remarks on ICC unfortunate and careless

Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta recently christened the International Criminal Court a “funny court.” Everyone knows that there’s no love lost between Mr Kenyatta and the ICC. He was in the court’s crosshairs for years — before and after he became a tenant at State House — for charges of crimes against humanity. Nor is there any doubt that The Hague court gave him sleepless nights.

Mr Kenyatta spent the first several years of his administration trying to defeat the charges against him. The court also had a vice grip on his numero dos William Ruto. We may never know how much taxpayer funds were expended to frustrate the ICC cases. Let’s interrogate Mr Kenyatta’s strange claim that the ICC is a “funny court.”
