ICC Trials; Uhuru’s Trial be pushed to February 2014, Says Bensouda.

Yesterday, the International Criminal Court announced that the court is now willing to push President Uhuru Kenyatta’s trial to February next year. The ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda who was early keen on ensuring that Uhuru’s trial commences on November 12^th, has now inclined that she will not oppose Uhuru’s bid to have the trials start on February 3^rd, next year.  Bensouda explained her stand through an application to the Trial chambers, citing that the prosecution will not be in a position to bring in two of its new witnesses due to lack of enough time for preparation if the trail is to start on November. She also explained that with the trial starting on February next year, the defense team will have enough time to investigate the new witnesses. In addition, Bensouda admitted to the ICC judges that the other six witnesses the prosecution has may not necessarily help her case since they would only give third person accounts which do not build a strong case. This hence put her in a fix with no option but to support the postponement of the trial to 2014.

The prosecutor however insists that the trial must start immediately on 3 February 2014 and cannot be further pushed to a later date citing that President Kenyatta and his defense team now have adequate time to prepare for the trail.

This new development comes amid numerous supports from the African Union (AU) and the Jubilee Coalition urging President Uhuru to skip the trial which was set to begin on November 2013, saying that the trials against President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto should be deferred back to Kenya to allow the two to carry out their State duties.
