A SIGH OF RELIEF

ICC DROPS MUTHAURA'S CASE

Former Head of Public Service Francis Muthaura now has a relief after the ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, withdrew a case concerning him in relation to the 2007-2008 Post Election Skirmishes that had been filed by the former ICC prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo who preferred charges of criminal responsibility as an indirect co-perpetrator of murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

The prosecutor, on Monday 11^th March 2013 showed intention to withdraw the charges against the former Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President, citing bribery, intimidation, assassination of witnesses as well as lack of government cooperation to avail relevant evidence. 

The former Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President who was among the OCAMPO SIX alongside Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Henry Kosgey, Joshua Arap Sang and Mohammed Ali had been charged with rape, murder, persecution and forceful transfer of population at the height of post-poll upheavals in 2007/2008, where approximately 1,133 people lost their lives and over 500,000 displaced from their homes.
