peace and tolerance ahead of ICC ruling scheduled for Monday.
The
victims from 20 internally displaced people's camps in the country
under the umbrella of IDP Leaders Forum, who spoke at a Nakuru hotel,
are calling for calm and peace no matter what the outcome of the ruling
on the confirmation cases.
They are calling on
the government to demonstrate its responsibility to the displaced
Kenyans by resettling them and also establish a local special tribunal
to handle perpetrators of Post Election Violence at the lower level.
A youth theatre group in Eldoret has embarked on an exercise to raise awareness on the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The
group led by Ken Ruto has been issuing booklets on the Court based at
the Hague in the Netherlands and talking to locals in Uasin Gishu and
Nandi counties to help create awareness on the ICC based at the Hague.
Meanwhile Kenyans are awaiting the decision of the ICC to confirm or decline to confirm the charges facing the Ocampo Six.
The
decision to be announced on Monday 23rd January will be made in writing
to the parties and participants in both cases. Thereafter Judges of
Pre-Trial Chamber II will appear publicly in Courtroom I to inform the
public about the outcome of their decisions.
The
decision will state whether Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, United
Republican Party - URP leader William Ruto, Head of Public Service
Francis Kirimi Muthaura, journalist Joshua Sang, suspended Minister for
Industrialization Henry Kosgey and Post Master General Mohammed Hussein
Ali will stand trial on crimes against humanity or not.
