[wanabidii] This was Ruto on ICC matter.

Article 143(1.) of the constitution of Kenya Protects the President or any person performing the duties of the presidency during their tenure.

The TJRC Report exempted Hon.Uhuru and Hon.Ruto from local processes since they are already facing ICC.Any referral will definitely see them going scot-free - for sure,we shall never know their innocence/guiltiness (so far they are innocent).

The "ICC Fever" seems to be picking up after a letter and representation was made to the Security council by our UN Rep . Mr.Macharia;President Museveni and now the AU.
  
  • (142) - Term of office of President
    1. The President shall hold office for a term beginning on the date on which the President was sworn in, and ending when the person next elected President in accordance with Article 136 (2) (a) is sworn in.
    2. A person shall not hold office as President for more than two terms.
  • (143) - Protection from legal proceedings
    1. Criminal proceedings shall not be instituted or continued in any court against the President or a person performing the functions of that office, during their tenure of office.
    2. Civil proceedings shall not be instituted in any court against the President or the person performing the functions of that office during their tenure of office in respect of anything done or not done in the exercise of their powers under this Constitution.
    3. Where provision is made in law limiting the time within which proceedings under clause (1) or (2) may be brought against a person, a period of time during which the person holds or performs the functions of the office of the President shall not be taken into account in calculating the period of time prescribed by that law.
    4. The immunity of the President under this Article shall not extend to a crime for which the President may be prosecuted under any treaty to which Kenya is party and which prohibits such immunity.
Your take!
Evans MACHERA

An accused person is innocent until proven guilty.

This was position taken by Ruto during the heat of the ICC verses Local Tribunal, lest we forget;

As voters and gullible citizens, we forget to hold leaders to account.
