Dear Mr President,
First, kindly allow me, on behalf of fellow Kenyans, to wish you a prosperous and a focused new year 2011 and to congratulate you for a job well done and an impressive CV for 2010, having achieved your targets as per your performance record.
Mr President, as you keep your cool and juggle your mind on the ongoing antics of MPs and denying potential gatecrashers free state parties, Kenyans are keenly looking forward to your decision on the motion to pull Kenya out of the ICC. You, as the President, will have the final say.
MPs have put you in a dilemma. You are between a rock and a hard place.
It is obvious that you do have a soft spot for some of the suspects on the Ocampo List and would like to show gratitude for the good things they have done to your presidency by trying to save their skin.
Mr President, the irony is that these MPs, some of whom sit in your Cabinet, said they ‘‘never wanted to be vague but to go for The Hague option’’ and continuously turned down the local tribunal option.
They were deaf to your pleas for a local judicial process, thus opening the doors to Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who was eager to prove to the world that justice at The Hague does not take 99 years to materialise as some of the MPs believed.
Moreno-Ocampo also wanted to set an example to perpetrators of crimes against humanity using Kenya’s post-election violence case.
Kenyans have spoken out loudly and clearly that they have faith in the International Criminal Court process and they want the six suspects to face justice.
Pulling Kenya out of the Rome Statute and ICC will be a setback to our international relations and commitment to universal human rights.
We understand it is a politically turbulent time but we urge you to be steadfast and stand with Kenyans.
And, remember, you were elected on a platform of reforms.
Once again, thank you for the gains you made in 2010 and mostly for putting the three most important commissions in place. This shows your full commitment to the implementation of the new Constitution.
I also hope that in 2011, you will give us a lean and effective Cabinet.
Aggrey

Every Kenyan knows that pulling the country out of the Hague is not a solution to anything at hand. My assumption is that all the MPs know that too. Any Kenyan who understands how the ICC works also knows that passing that motion in parliament was a bad idea. Why? Besides sending a signal to the ICC that parliament supports impunity, it makes it harder for the ICC to believe that the six suspects will cooperate without the issuance of arrest warrants. Again, although withdrawing from the ICC might not have any grounds for immediate sanctions from the international community, it will drastically lower our credit rating and therefore make it hard for the country to borrow…the whole thing is an act in futility as Makau would say and both Kibaki and Agwambo know that
