We’ll not hand over suspects to Ocampo, says Raila

Prime Minister Raila Odinga has accused a section of the media of being biased and antagonistic. The PM clarified on Saturday that at no time during his tour of Kondele in Kisumu did he say the Government would hand over suspects of the post-election violence to the International Criminal Court.

The PM spokesman Dennis Onyango said, while addressing crowds in Kondele on Friday, the PM outlined why he supports The Hague to take up the trial of post-election violence suspects. Mr Onyango said the PM’s wish had been a local tribunal undertakes the trials to protect the country’s standing among nations.

He said this has not come to pass since MPs, the civil society and the media ganged up against the setting up of local tribunal.
