Read for you: Kenya calls for the withdrawal of prosecution by the ICC against the President

Kenya calls on the Security Council of the UN that the allegations of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the three Kenyans in the post-election violence of 2007-2008, whose chairman Uhuru Kenyatta and Vice President William Ruto be dropped. Kenya's representative to the UN said that these procedures are a threat to security and stability. President Uhuru Kenyatta was received with all the honors in London a few days ago at a donors' conference on Somalia.
The International Criminal Court has been accused of bias and manipulate different actors in the letter that was sent to the United Nations. The argument: Kenya adopted a Constitution which involves judicial reform, the country may have to find a solution locally.
The request is sent to the Security Council, which can suspend the proceedings for a year, but can not compel the ICC to abandon, as also emphasized the lawyer William Ruto. It says that this letter does not reflect government policy.
Intimidation of witnesses
For three years, Kenya multiplies the efforts to end the prosecution: a first letter to the Security Council in February 2011, one month after the ICC, and a tour of African countries to join the African Union in its case, without success.
The prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said recently that the intimidation of witnesses in Kenya had reached an unprecedented level, forcing it to drop the charges against Francis Muthaura, the co-accused Uhuru Kenyatta.
Recently, one of the judges decided to withdraw, involving flaws in the investigation of the prosecutor. Some observers fear that with the arrival of William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta to power the prosecution case, which is based primarily on control and not physical evidence, is increasingly fragile.
