Palaver

I am bored, let’s re-invent the wheel. Mr Gerard Niyungeko, President of the African Court on Human and People’s Rights says they plan to merge the African Court of Justice and the African Court on Human and People’s Rights and extend its mandate to try criminal cases? Mr Niyungeko avers that the Court would operate the International Criminal Court (ICC) based at The Hague so that and Africans accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity would not need to be sent to the ICC! Interesting. However, of 54 African countries, only 26 have ratified the Protocol to create the Court. Really? Luis Moreno-Ocampo must be roaring with laughter at Fifa headquarters.

Kenyan athletes are not cheats and are hard working and entertaining to watch. You can’t compare them to Canadian Light heavyweight Ryan Jimmo who cheated ticket buyers who came to watch his memorable UFC debut. Even faster than Usain Bolt can run, Jimmo knocked out Anthony Perosh in seven seconds in Calgary on Saturday. I would demand a refund for my ticket if I was at ringside!
