It is not entirely clear why the ICC is hanging on to a case that was a stillborn from the very outset. One would have imagined that the day the Chief Prosecutor announced the lack of evidence to sustain a credible prosecution in the case against President Kenyatta, the Judges should have terminated the case without much ado. But what we are seeing day in, day out, are never ending theatrics and sideshows from the court, the latest being the bizarre warning directed at the Kenya government over alleged leakage of confidential information.
While there has been much attention on these sideshows, little seems to have been said about the role of the court itself and particularly the Judges in the drama that has unfolded over the last four years.
