Sunday September 2, 2012 - Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Protocol adviser Tony Gachoka has been given a go ahead by the Attorney General Githu Muigai to testify before the International Criminal Court (ICC), on the role played by Prime Minister Raila Odinga in connection with 2007-08 post election violence.

In his response Githu said;
“I acknowledge with thanks your letter dated August 13, on above matter, connects of which I have duly noted,”
Githu copied the letter to members of the Cabinet Sub- Committee on the ICC, who included Defence and acting Internal Security minister Yusuf Haji, Lands minister James Orengo, Justice minister Eugene Wamalwa, Immigration minister Otieno Kajwang and Fisheries minister Amason Kingi.
The AG also went ahead and wrote a letter to the ICC and Netherlands government, requesting them to re-visit the issue of Issuance of Visa to Tony Gachoka.
Gachoka ,who is a brilliant political analyst, claims he has “very damaging information” about Raila Odinga’s actions during the 2008 post election violence which killed 1133 people and left over half a million displaced.
He also claims to have a proof the PM struck a deal with unnamed local and international powerbrokers in exchange for immunity from prosecution-US and Britain governments.
“The Prime Minister has not been forthcoming about what he knows and what he did during the turbulent days of 2007 and 2008.He brokered secret deals with US and Britain to have his name excluded in the report,” Gachoka said.
