PRESIDENT UHURU IS RIGHT ICC IS A TOOL USED TO MANIPULATE INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AND SERVE ITS SELFISH INTERESTS.

President Uhuru Kenyatta recently gave the strongest signal ever that Kenya will withdraw its membership from International Criminal Court because he perceived it to be a political tool rather than a court of justice. President Kenyatta is absolutely right on this.

One needs to look at what is happening in Aleppo region of Syria to understand the magnitude of Mr. Kenyatta’s sentiments. Aleppo is a Northern Syrian city that Russia and President Bashar al-Assad have been fighting to reclaim from the rebels. After four-and-a-half years of debilitating civil war in which UN estimates more than 400,000 people have been killed, the international community is no closer to bringing anyone suspected of war crimes in Syria to account.
