Just like I said, here goes the magistrate. Uhuru Kenyatta and Karangi were out to destroy the case against the suspects and they did.

said Gacheru, who lamented that the court did not supervise the destruction. The magistrate and defence lawyers in the case that had been filed, complained that proper legal procedures were not followed in the operation.http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000133578/president-uhuru-s-move-to-destroy-ship-threatens-sh1-billion-drugs-case

Either an illiterate power / popularity hungry president or a drug peddling president out to protect his drug kingpin friends.  I doubt any drugs were destroyed.

Criminal president, not in my name.

I suspect statehouse or jubilee linked drug dealers organized this dog pony shows of destruction so they can steal the drugs.

Even when a woman is raped, once the DNA sample is taken and abstract filled, the woman can take a shower and the case goes on. Kwani the judge wants to row out to sea to prove that the drugs were on the ship?

You have no idea what trauma rape can bring. In this case the woman was raped, washed by force, disembowelled and drowned. Cliff Ombeta would love a man like you to represent the destroyers of evidence.

Unfortunately this is not about a woman being raped.

The law has specific provisions when dealing with such contraband. There are very strict provisions on HOW drugs can be destroyed. The reason such strict provisions were put in place was to prevent drug barons from exploiting corruption within government and law enforcement to get back their drugs. Thus any destruction outside that strict regime is a nullity and highly suspicious;

The law on the disposal of the conveyance, in this case the ship is in fact derived from international treaties and conventions on Illicit Drugs that Kenya has signed. There is no provision for the destruction of the ship. It is required to be auctioned at the expiry of a certain notice. Failure to do that exposes the country to claims as the stuff on the ship has NOT been tested and determined to be heroin

The "samples" taken are as good as useless. The law requires that the packages be impounded as they are and possibly must be photographed and witnessed before removal. They are then to be taken to approved labs where each one of these is identified again, weighed and tested. It won't take more than ten minutes to prove that the bags the police took to the labs are very different from what was seen on the deck of the ship before the alleged "sinking". The defense has in effect been handed a free get out of jail card.

One can argue very easily that the action was deliberate.

Precisely. The law is clear so its was flouted for some reason. Knowing kenyans..1.3b drugs cannot be destroyed hivyo.
