On The Flip Side Of It! - By ndolo asasa Esq.

We all knew and know that team UhuRuto worked so hard to win the Presidency so as to cushion themselves from the vagaries of ICC including trial; why are we then feigning surprise when it becomes evident that all charade must be stopped and the hard-won Presidency serves its intended purpose? Panafricanism is an old rabbit trick pulled from the 48 Laws of Power of appealing to the emotion. The UhuRuto have called the ICC bluff, will ICC prove itself? A number of critical questions here; 1. Is team UhuRuto that scared to face a prosecutor they allege has done shoddy investigations? 2. Do the AU presidents have the political muscle in their parliaments to pull of the mass walkout which must be authorised by the said parliaments? 3. Can ICC stand such a pull out and still claim the high moral pedestal? 4. If UN/ICC yields to the AU mandarins' demands, what assurance is in place that the African Presidents will not turn to be ogres to eat their own children and refuse to hand over power - since handing over power means exposing oneself to ICC prosecution? 5. What will dissuade the military and other adventurous individuals from staging coups and sticking to power hence thus sitting pretty and going scot-free. 6. Do the people of African countries- including Kenya, have the capacity to stand up against their now threateningly marauding Presidents? Who will bell the cat here?
