RE : KENYANS IN DIASPORA SUPPORTS INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT IMMEDIATE PROSECUTION OF THE 2008 PERPETRATORS OF POST ELECTION VIOLENCE IN KENYA – DISAPPROVES THE MEETING IN UGANDA FROM 30th.TO 11th.JUNE:

Kenyans in USA and in other parts of the World are totally in support of the Prosecution of the planners and financiers of the post Election Violence in 2008 by the ICC. We oppose with the strongest terms the plans of the 60 African lobbyists, Sudan, Kenya, Libya, Ethiopia, , Somalia, Eritrea, Uganda, South Africa, DRC, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mozambique, Chad, USSR, Czechoslovakia Satellite States, Witness Africa and African World Media who have planned to meet in Uganda from May 31 to June 11, to stop the ICC Prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo from pursuing the post election violence suspects. We oppose the African Union efforts to push for a revision of Article 15 of the Rome Statute that bestows unlimited powers on the chief prosecutor to pursue leaders accused of genocide and crimes against humanity because of the timely manner and approach of the issue, especially now that very powerful corrupt Kenyan Politicians may be among the suspects.

Since Kenya’s Independence in 1963 there had never been any mass killings of innocent Kenyans as started in 1991. Before 1991 the common Kenyans lived peacefully amongst themselves. From 1991 the Kenya largest tribes, the Kikuyu, the Luo, the Luhya and the Kissii were targeted by the Kalenjin community for attack and killing as a punishment because of supporting and exerting pressures for the introduction of the multi-party system of Governance. The Luo in Sondu were the first to be attacked and killed in 1991. Many others were driven away from their homes and never returned. The Luhyas in Kitale were the second. Many were killed and others were driven away from their homes. The Kissii who lived near Kericho were the third to be killed and driven away from their homes and never returned. The fourth were the Kikuyus who lived in the Rift Valley. A total of more than 800 Kenyans were killed in a period of one month in 1991. The killings continued year after year from 1991 to 1998, taking away an unknown number of innocent Kenyans. The killings stopped from 1999 to 2002. They resumed in 2003 to 2008.

Since 1991 the attackers and killers have been the Kalenjins, President Mois Tribe. The killings have always been effected to disapprove the introduction of the multiparty system of governance in Kenya, which President Moi opposed from the beginning of its crusade, with a prediction that once introduced in Kenya, there would be war and chaos. For the entire period of 14 years, during which period the killings of innocent women and children has continued to take place in Kenya, no one was ever arrested and no Kenyan leader ever condemned the Kalenjins for their senseless and heinous actions of attacks and killings of those innocent women and children. The African Union, which is currently spearheading the crusade to stop the ICC Prosecutor from pursuing the Perpetrators of the post election violence in Kenya, has never addressed those senseless killings in Kenya since 1991. It has never addressed the poverty and corruption which have caused deaths of thousands of Kenyans. The African Union has left Kenyans to suffer in the hands of their corrupt leaders who have continued to instigate killings from 1991 to 1998 with impunity. The African Union has continued to protect African leaders who have continued to loot loans, Grants and the revenue earned from the natural resources. In addition to poverty and suffering emanating from the rampant corruption, perpetuated by the Kenyan leaders, the common Kenyans have continued to be killed for no reason at all in the politically instigated killings.

Today, plans are at a very advanced stage, to effect similar killings of very many innocent Kenyans in 2012, before, during or soon after the elections, as happened in 2008. On 9th December 2009, the Kenya media reported the discovery of 100,000 bullets, Army Uniform, Plane Batteries, Army food rations and other weapons. On 2nd. Of February 2010, the Kenya media also reported another discovery of 31,121 bullets, 20,000 litres of gas, Trucks, Government Land Rovers and other types of weapons at a place in Narok, Kenya. It is suspected that there are a lot more weapons hidden in the Rift valley in Kenya. The Government has kept silent over those discoveries. In 1991, thousands of arrows labeled “made from South Korea” were intercepted at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The South Korean Ambassador to Kenya admitted that the arrows had been imported into Kenya by the Kenya Government. Soon the arrows disappeared. Later in the same year, the arrows resurfaced in the bodies of the 800 innocent Kenyans who were killed during the first attacks in 1991, and also in the bodies of those who laid wounded in the hospitals. Those in leadership at the time, kept silent over the interception of the imported arrows from South Korea up to this day, and no one followed those leads including the then Organization of African Unity. Today, the Kenya Government has kept silent over the deadly and sophiscated ammunition discovered late last year and early this year in Narok. The possibility of those same weapons discovered recently, resurfacing in the bodies of innocent women and children soon if action is not taken, cannot be ruled out.

With what happened in Rwanda in 1994, in DRC, in Somalia, in Burundi and in Sudan in the eyes of the African Union, still fresh in the minds of most Kenyans, we Kenyans abroad will not sit and watch our fellow Kenyans die again in the hands of the ruthless leaders. All those planning to meet in Uganda are not planning to do so on behalf of Kenyans. The 40,000,000 Kenyans want Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo to charge the Perpetrators of the post election violence. When the issue of a Tribunal in Kenya or the ICC were debated in the Kenya Parliament in 2008 and 2009, the entire Kenya Parliament resolved 3 times to adopt the ICC. The intended meeting in Uganda has no substance for the Kenyan people and no slightest support of Kenyans and therefore no one should pretend to represent Kenyans at such a meeting.

If Prosecutor Moreno Ocampo does not prosecute the perpetrators, Kenya will be ungovernable after 2012. Those same people who financed and planned the 2008 post election violence will certainly once again repeat similar killings by 2012. They are the same people who have been financing and planning the killings of innocent Kenyans since 1991. We Kenyans in the Diaspora dismiss the intended meeting in Uganda and we will continue to support the planned prosecution of the perpetrators of the post election violence by the ICC. We also plead with all our friends in the whole world and all those who value human lives to disapprove the intended meeting in Uganda scheduled between 30th of May 2010 to 11th. Of June 2010. We are ready to do anything to make sure that Prosecutor Moreno Ocampo helps bring Justice to the helpless Internally Displaced People [IDP], all the victims of the violence and the several orphans left behind by their parents who were killed in the violence.
