Mr Moreno-Ocampo goes to Nairobi

The President and the Premier are ambivalent about the ICC's plan to prosecute some of the political violence cases

To the alarm of many in Nairobi's political elite, the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, is determined to investigate and prosecute those involved in the outbreak of political violence last year (AC Vol 50 No 20). As in its running battles with the regime in Sudan, the ICC's intervention in Kenya will test the Court's stamina and the political support it needs. The ICC is far more popular with citizens than regimes.
