The International Criminal Court's decision to discharge the Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang has awakened a battle between the Attorney General Githu Muigai and the ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
The prosecutor's insistence on non cooperation by the republic of Kenya is the principal problem with the request to foward the three alleged interference culprits icing the cake of tension.
According to the Attorney General, the allegation by the Prosecutor is malicious which an unfair intention for a sovereign state.
The A.G further added that the state had provided all the required documents including the minutes of Security meetings during the period among other CID documents.
While addressing the issue on the forwarding of the alleged witness interference culprits ;Walter Barasa, Paul Gicheru and Philip Kipkoech Bett, the A.G clearly stated that the prosecutor was aware the was a case on the same. This requires the prosecutor to be patient enough until the Kenyan case is concluded.
The exchange between the two began along time with the prosecutor and the AG taking divergent opinions. It was during the President's case that the prosecutor dropped that claims of non cooperation by the Kenyan authorities dawned.
The battle leaves the country with the questions;who is lying? Is Bensouda contemptuous over the Kenyan state? Is the attorney's duty and statements questionable? This leaves a confused conclusion for the state.
