Raila Threatens to Take President Uhuru, Ruto Back to ICC

Opposition leader Raila Odinga says that the killings that happened in Babadogo estate, Ruaraka constituency in Nairobi on Sunday morning were organized and executed by the government.

Speaking when he visited the area on Sunday, the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader threatened to take President Uhuru and his Deputy William Ruto to the International Criminal Court (ICC), saying they should take responsibility.

“These killings are a product of careful planning and it is clear that they were executed in a manner to suggest that particular ethnic communities were targeted,” said Raila.

He said the heinous acts were engineered by the government and likened them to the 2007/08 post-election violence.

“These killings are orchestrated by the government and what is happening now can only be equated to 2007. We want to tell those responsible that The Hague (ICC) is still an option,” threatened Raila.

Raila said it is unfortunate that those responsible are the same people who had been facing charges at the ICC - referring to Uhuru and Ruto. The two were facing crimes against humanity charges at the Hague-based court, but the proceedings were terminated due to lack of evidence.

“Instead of apologizing, we saw them try to approve of the police action and encourage it."

“Things are bad, and what can save the country is the intervention of the international community. We shall be heading to the ICC. Our people must remain patient but vigilant," Raila added.

Yeah when everything else fails, run to your white masters, a rebel with inferiority complex. ICC has been watching and listening since the first case was filed against you so stop flipping the script .

Bye boy! Unfortunately for you, your show has been one sided, you as the main character and your followers as the cast. No jubilee was out in the street with you except for the police doing their job. So jog on and file. Huna adabu, sacrificing your own to meet you dead end agenda! I hope Uhuru will charge you with treason when he is sworn in. To go a step further, if I was the mother of one of those killed, I would personally hold you responsible for exploiting the vulnerable! Taka taka mbele ya duka!

So much confidence by NASA. They Cause and stage manage violence so as to blame the government and threaten with takinf those they fix to ICC. What a twist of truths. NASALEADERS should actually be answering cases of violence, deaths of citizens and corrupting the youth, destroying the economy, spoiling our national image, and radicalization leading to untold division and violence in our sweet country.
May the voice of reason prevail as we move forward as a nation. Long live Kenya. God bless all 45 million and give wisdom to the leaders.

True self coming out. He has vehemently denied being the mastermind of the last ICC cases against Uhuruto, now he is vehemently calling ICC on them. Is this the major declaration nasarians were expecting from nrm, was this the destination?what happened to all the promises and rhetoric? or these are gimmicks to keep the supporters in fold? Just like the goodnews book says "Let My people go, that they may serve Me", may the yoke of raoism let Kenyans of goodwill go on with their God given life.

When two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. My two ethnic brothers and sisters (Gikuyu and Luo), why are you turning us into a desert through your constant fighting?

Raila you should go to the HAGUE voluntarily for 2007/8 and 2017. I witnessed you telling Amanipour live on CNN you WILL NOT STOP THE KILLINGS! I volunteer to be a witness in the Hague and will pay my own travel and accommodation costs. Police is not provoked not in Kenya , USA, Russia , China nowhere . Get your life back without being my president . I can never accept a destroyer of peace an anarchist to b my president it will not happen in 100 years . even if Uhuruto go back to the Hague . we will vote for another one but NOT raila amolo odinga. you have brought this to yourself dude

What about you Baba, you are father of terror in Kenya. You have terrorize so many Kenyans and destroy their properties. You should be in Jail right now. First take your self, NASA co principles as well as James Orengo to ICC.You were out of country and Kenya was peaceful and when you came back you started preaching Hate instead of peace so go lie to your mother she may be the only one to listen and take your cabbage if she is not tired of your non-sense.
