EXCLUSIVE: MUTUNGA and BENSOUDA leaked emails - He wanted UHURU/ RUTO arrested in December.

 Following Tuesday’s bombshell by Chief Justice Dr Willy Mutunga that the Executive is threatening the Judiciary, we at the Kenyan DAILY POST went ahead and dug more to reveal controversies surrounding the alleged threats.

Credible sources from the Judiciary said the controversy started in October last year when International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda visited the country.

The sources said Mutunga and Bensouda held a closed door meeting at Mutunga’s private offices in Nairobi that discussed sensitive issues about the cases facing the four Kenyan suspects who were indicted by The Hague based court in connection with the 2007-08 post election violence where 1133 people died and over 650,000 were displaced

Immediately after the meeting, Bensouda who returned to The Hague that evening started sending emails to Chief Justice Dr Mutunga requesting for “help” to nail the four suspects.

At some point Mutunga, requested Bensouda to order a “warrant of arrest” Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto saying they are nuisance to the security of the country.

But Bensouda, who is a Gambian national, urged him that the Rome Statute has a provision that bars the court from arresting persons who are fully cooperating with The Hague based court.

Mutunga also requested the ICC court to write to the United Nations requesting for “peace keeping force’ during the March 4^th election saying he does not trust the police since the force has not been reformed.

But Bensouda told him that the request must be made by the executive arm of the government but not by the ICC.
