Head of Public Service & Secretary to the Cabinet, Amb. Francis Muthaura, wishes to inform Wananchi that a report in the media that he plans to resign is mere speculation.

The reports are news to Amb. Francis Muthaura because no journalists have talked to him about the issue. Quoted unidentified sources, supposedly from the Office of the president, are either liars with political agendas or ghots manufactured by media.

Amb. Francis Muthaura has not comtemplated resigning and has no problem fulfiling the conditions given by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

On a related issue, there has been speculation that summoned individuals may be arrested when they respond to their summons at the Hague.

This is not accurate because as per international law and basically all laws, you cannot be arrested or held unless you have been indicted.

The summoned have not been charged and the decision to either charge them or not has to come after they have presented their side of the story and a decision is made, several months later.

Therefore, the issue of their arrests is null and void and is just being perpetuated to put undue pressure to them for no- ICC related objectives.
