KENYA HAS LOST HER GLORY AND INDEPENDENCE.

Not long ago the ICC prosecutor through a live tele-camera video from The Hague addressed the press. His address was meant to get to the Kenyan masses over the now global pursuit of justice for the post election victims.
You recall late last year Mr. Luis Moreno Ocampo short listed his probable prey list of six Kenyan power blockers as the persons with greatest responsibility over the crimes committed against humanity. These crimes are said to vary from rape, forceful eviction, and murder
These crimes going by the current day global unfolding are not so unique. These are cases our now reformed judicially can comfortably handle; yet realistically speaking we are at the apex of the international justice simply because we cannot handle this. While the PNU wing of the grand coalition government believes that our systems are up to the task, their ODM differ vehemently, and now enjoying the created crisis is the ICC prosecutor who wants to use Kenyan case as an example to the international community.
Unfortunately, this places Kenya among the failed states of the world. Is it not in failed states and governments that Ocampo takes such strides of confidence? Besides it’s for such countries that he earns a pay for. But whom do we blame for this if not our esteemed politicians?
Remember the number of trials made to set up a local tribunal? Two to be precise and the politicking class had faith that ICC will take a whole eternity. All this was intended to protect themselves and their cronies. Now Ocampo has moved with some terrible speed and the ruling elites are now crying foul and the best they can now do is to try a deferral of the case while another set of politicians crave for refferal.
These acts of cowardice have placed us in international arena. Today, way long from worlds known media houses to that village radio, Kenya is the topic of discussion. I don’t want to imagine the theme...... but the eventual summary? Kenya is a failed state!.
We are viewed thus because of our choices of our leaders. If they had in mind the Kenya we love and treasure then Kibaki will stop the Kalonzo’s shuttle diplomacy and Raila for heavens sake would not afford to write to the UN Security Council. Uhuru and Ruto would just shut off their public spats and attacks of their boss... the premier. This case should just pass off silently and let the legal brains crack while the common mwananchi keeps vigil on our economy and implementation of our newly enacted statutes.
I fail to understand how a country with a government can have the ICC prosecutor give marching orders to her chief of public service on what to do and issue clear sanctions to the secretary of state in charge of  her coffers on how far to go. This can only happen to a failed state.
It is unfortunate that we have a running government in place but we have our own kinsmen face the international whip.
Regrettably the church ought to face this situation with sobriety and offer a platform towards our recovery and healing. The scripture atones that, ` If my people who are called by my name shall change from their wicked ways and seek my face, I will hear them from heaven I will save them and heal their land´
This is the redemption that this country needs. Intercessors who will cry for our land. Men who will boldly lead the battle front to expel the spirit of doom holding our political leadership captive. Lets then champion for good leadership as Christians but we must not forget that the state is failing or it is already failed and we are needed to pray and take over leadership.
