The relative good behaviour we’ve seen from the suspects since the ICC’s intervention is a testament to this fact. Accountability works. The fear of consequence works.

So we must insist that, pending a determination of innocence, they not be allowed to vie for elective office either.

    Uhuru and Ruto will certainly participate in Elections 2012 -- either directly as their shameless selves or indirectly through their sympathetic proxies. Therefore stop whining -- get up and hit that campaign tarmac !!!!!!
