ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda will visit the
country next week to seek evidence that the Kenyan authorities are allegedly
withholding.
Attorney General Githu Muigai who is the Chief
Government adviser agreed with Mrs Bensouda to visit the country in the third
week of October to dig more evidence to nail the four Kenyan suspects who have
been indicted by The Hague based court.
“Yes she is coming next week on Monday for a
series of meeting with various government officials,” the AG confirmed to
journalists on Tuesday.
Bensouda will meet the AG, Internal Security
Minister Katoo Ole Metito, Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko,
Chief Registrar of Judiciary Gladys Shollei, Special Programmes Minister Ester
Murugi and cabinet subcommittee on ICC.
The five-day visit by Bensouda is a high–stake
one that might change the course of events at the ICC.
Among the evidences that Bensouda requires is
the Kass FM broadcasts and a recorded telephone conversation between two of the
four suspects.
But a
senior government official told the DAILY POST on Wednesday that they will not
surrender any information because the ICC court initially admitted it has
enough evidence to nail the four suspects.
“The ball
is on their court. They are the ones who went to the court and promised they had
this and that information. They categorically said they had evidence to this regard
and promised the pre- trial chamber that they would be able to prove their claims
on trial,” he said.
