At exactly 2pm, Kenyan time, ICC's chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo stood by his words and earlier promise and released the 2007 post election violence suspects. Speaking from the ICC headquaters in the Hague, Mr. Ocampo maintained that the six have not yet been convicted and are just mere suspects. In the country, the news was received with condemnation from both MPs and the entire cabinet, with the Vice President, Mr. Kalonzo Musyoka claiming that the International Court "has violated the rules of natural justice by naming suspects before an application is made."
The list includes: Chepalungu MP, Isaac Ruto, Deputy Prime Minister, Uhuru Kenyatta, Retired General, Hussein Ali, Francis Muthaura, and Mr.Joshua Arap Sang, who is a radio jaournalist.
Meanwhile, US President, Barrack Obama has called on all Kenyans to co-operate with the ICC.
