Kenyan politics is shaken up by the indictment of several heavyweights

The scramble to reverse the confirmation of charges by the ICC has already begun. The wild constellation of political alliances shift by the second as the numerous presidential aspirants jockey for poll position in the run-up to the elections. Little is said of the scores of IDPs still wallowing in displacement camps four years on. To the dismay of many of us Kenyans few if any of the political parties put forth a coherent campaign agenda and platform steeped in clear values, and backed up by strategic economic and social policies that will serve Kenyans for the better.

The Hague case will form the most important determining aspect of the forthcoming election. The paradox would be Uhuru winning the elections which is very probable with the Hague after him. The Central Kenya tribal groups feels unfairly targeted by the I.C.C considering that they were mostly on the receiving end during the violence and 90% of those displaced (I.D.P.s)are actually their people and they only fought to defend themselves or to retaliate. If the case does not stop then we will be planting seeds for further more potentially damaging violence later this century.

who cares if someone gets their tribe right or wrong........backwardness!Africa transcend those kind of rhetoric.

It's difficult to trust a journal and journalism that are marketed as having regional insight, when something as basic as the tribe of one of the accused was incorrect. Idiot, Meru is not the same as Kikuyu.

If Muthaura is Kikuyu the Obama's a Muslim :P

Yes brace yourself for the usual stereotypes...it's a Kenyan stories but watch out for the usual commentaries about "Africa"...too much Fox News, Sky, BBC CNN...good or bad for ?!
