Icc V Paul Gicheru - Key witnesses drops
« on: December 04, 2021, 01:47:41 PM »
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors have abandoned a hostile witness in the case against Kenyan lawyer Paul Gicheru.Prosecutors had arranged a meeting with the witness, identified as P-0604, but he failed to show up at the agreed venue.Deputy prosecutor James Stewart yesterday informed the trial Chamber that they wanted to obtain crucial documents to corroborate the evidence he had provided concerning payments made to him by Mr Gicheru.The payments were meant to coerce him to drop his evidence against Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang.

Is Ruto still bribing witnesses in a case about bribery of witnesses?

ICC isn't good at this work. They don't know how to protect witnesses and prevent witness tampering.

They are dealing with conmen - who will make any allegation for an opportunity to be "protected" and flown to Europe. The make ridiciolous statements that foreign investigations who don't know enough about kenya swallow hook, line and sinker.

Next they claim after thay made those statements their lives are in danger and they need to be relocated with their families to Europe.

While safely in Europe - they decline to cooperate on the trial d-day afraid to lie under oath and get ripped apart by defence lawyers. Now how can someone abroad in some safe house be unsafe?

They should have done independent investigation especially on the character of their witness. Perhaps involve local lawyers to help them navigate kenya systems.

They would have discovered that 99 percent of them were conmen who had joined PNU for money in 2007 - and were later bought by PNU (Martha - Kuria - likes) to implicate  Ruto. They made ridicolous claims - like they were close to Ruto. Most of them were guys you find in Hilton corner hapo discussing siasa...except these are eldoret based charlatans

If ICC had paid attention to my leaks on their emails - way back in 2010 - they would have saved their reputation, money and time.
