Chief Justice Martha Koome risks being taken to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over how the judiciary is handling cases.
Kisumu Governor Any'ang' Nyong'o has threatened to write to the ICC over the pace at which the judiciary is resolving the case involving Baby Pendo, who was murdered by the police during the 2017 elections.
According to Nyong'o, under the Rome Statute, to which Kenya is a signatory, the ICC has the right to intervene if it determines that Kenya is either unable or unwilling to deliver justice in cases of severe human rights violations. "We may be forced to write to the ICC to intervene should the local courts continue to delay the cases, because justice delayed is justice denied," Nyong'o stated.
