The Standard e-Paper
Kenya's Bold Newspaper
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Why do some Government officials want a Special Division created in the High Court to handle post-election violence suspects, instead of an independent Special Tribunal? It is certainly not to ensure the accused "free and fair" trials as they claim. This ‘option’, hot on the heels of a proposal to have a special court in a neutral neighbouring country, proposes to introduce the very weaknesses the nation should be avoiding.
Our fears that politicians leading the process intend to render the tribunal susceptible to undue influence and intimidation appear to have been prescient.
