O.D.M. strongman, former cabinet minister and Former Westlands MP Fred Gumo has decided to swim against the currents of his party and strongly criticized The International Criminal Court for demanding that President Uhuru Kenyatta sit trials in person at the Hague
In a move that surprised many, Mr. Gumo told the Hague based court to let Uhuru deal with his constitutional duties and that even if the Current judges died or retired, when Uhuru finishes his term, there will be other Judges
"Kwani Uhuru atakuwa Raisi milele? wangoje tumalize mambo yetu hapa kwanza!" said Gumo "I would want that case ilale hadi ile siku Raisi Uhuru atatoka
Mr. Gumo also fired at Koffi Annan for predicting a negative outcome should Africa withdraw from the Rome statute that made the ICC.
"Watu wengi wanafanya kwa hiyo UN ni kwa sababu nchi zao zimekuwa na shida, Kwani si hata huyo Annan alienda huko juu Ghana ilikuwa na shida, wewe unafikiria alienda huko kwa raha?" He further said
Mr Gumo is a member of the ODM party which is strongly advocating for the continuation of the ICC cases, irrespective of the fact that Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are President and Deputy President (respectively)of the Republic of Kenya.
This comes as the African Union held a summit to discuss and audit the Continent's relationship with the ICC
A strong anti-ICC feeling is sweeping across the Continent
he is simply looking for a job after loosing out in last elections and in kenya to get a government job of high profile you must be very loyal to the president
ReplyDeleteYes. That is Fred's Job application. He knows, how the system used to work, and he knows the more things change the more they remain the same.
