Share/Save/Bookmark PNU has accused ODM of plotting to reject the 2012 elections in case Prime Minister Raila Odinga does not succeed in his bid. The PNU party secretary general Kiraitu Murungi said ODM's support of the ICC process was part of a long standing ploy to discredit local institutions.
He explained that the push by ODM was intended to show that Kenya was incapable of prosecuting the post election violence suspects. He said this was a deliberate plan to portray the country as a failed state and a strategy to discredit local institutions including the electoral commission.
Kiraitu who was flanked by several party officials during the press conference at the party headquarters also accused ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo of helping ODM win the next general election.“PNU has noted with concern the continued politicization of the ICC process which is no longer a just and legal process, but a polluted, perverted process that is being used as a political tool to determine the outcome of the 2012 general elections,” said Kiraitu.
Kiraitu said that once Parliament resumes next week, it will push for the implementation of a motion passed by the House seeking Kenya to withdraw from the Rome Statute.
Kiraitu added that it will support the position taken by the Commission on Implementation of Constitution (CIC) that the next general election be held in August 2012 and not in December as has been proposed by among others, the chairman of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission chairman Ahmed Isaack.
PNU further said it will convene a national governing council meeting within 90 days to review its relationship with ODM in the coalition government and will consider its intention of pulling out.
The party further announced that it has invited the Interim Independent Electoral Commission to conduct party nominations in Kamukunji constituency which is scheduled to hold a by election.
PNU said it wants one candidate to be picked from all its allied parties including ODM Kenya and Kanu. “We have already written to the commission asking them to conduct our nominations,” said Kiraitu.
Present during the press conference was the PNU vice chair George Nyamweya, Maina Kamanda (organizing secretary), Jimmy Angwenyi (vice-chairman) and MPs Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa) and Emilio Mureithi (Manyatta).
Speaking during a tour of his constituency, Kioni said the party would demand the ICC make public all the names of the alleged perpetrators of the post election violence who were named in the Waki report and in the reports presented by human rights organisations.
Kioni said it was imperative that Kenyans understood how and who else is suspected to have organized and financed the violence apart from the Ocampo Six. Failure to do this would confirm that the ICC was applying justice selectively, Kioni added.
