[@chrisogonas]

I'm glad the public pressure got her out and she is bold enough to speak about it. But just how shameful that the Ruto continue to orchestrate to condone this. Viva Kenya ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[@susanonyango8570]

Looks like you did not listen to the who clip. She actually said the problem is Tanzania and it's abductions. She said in 4 years in Kenya she has been at peace... That DCI talked to her once but they were just making enquiries. She was also clear that Kenyans have supported her on Twitter and physically during the abductions.

[@chrisogonas]

@@susanonyango8570 Madam Sue, I listened to the entire clip. My argument is that these abductions are taking place by an illegal organized parallel government goons. Our security organs have a duty to bust them or we have to hold them accountable. We fund them beyond measure, to ensure we have total security. This is not the first abduction, but one in a ring of abductions. Tanzania govn't is behind it as she says, but Tanzanians cannot just roam freely in Kenya to conduct abductions. That is a serious breach of our security and an insult. It is naive to imagine that these abductions are being orchestrated by some unknown elements. This is an illegally constituted gang. Martha Karua and others have established as much. Our police, by omission or commission, is complicit and we hold them to account, and blame such crimes on the failed or the aiding system.

African leaders need to be in ICC

[@davidsdavidodavis3152]

Ruto should be there like yesterday. Not all leaders

[@charlesmaina5413]

How about netanyahu? ICC is only for Africans, not Europeans or Americans. Now America has sanctioned the ICC because of indicting netanyahu, their friend. The problem with people here at home is that they've been trained to hate themselves. Sadly, they do it very well. But mercifully we have people like Ibrahim Traore, who wouldn't dare send any of his country men to ICC.

[@p.be.s]

We have better prisons, like Ki’ngo’ngo and Kodiaga prisons.

[@jakadalla]

Noo. Africans have to stand up against this type of tyranny. We can't depend on ICC to solve Africa's problems. Some of the problems are perpetuated by the so-called international community.

[@jackie4health]

ICC for what? That place is a luxurious haven, if they must be in prison then it must be in our on prisons. Maximum security prisons. The ones which have like 5 gates and have those very mean faced soldiers. Those soldiers who are so pissed off with the leaderships.

The worst brutal autocracies are yet to be seen in Kenya as Ruto is being tutored by Museveni. Many of those abducted here in Uganda are never seen again. Mothers of those innocent souls live with tears that will never dry up. In Kenya, elections will be won each time, because they will always produce ballot boxes already filled with Ruto ticked ballot papers at polling stations similar to what is done here in Uganda. Media will forcefully be switched off and in this way Ruto will continue to rule Kenya with an iron fist. These 2 guys are smart and know what they are doing.
