NCIC Tension Concerns

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission has expressed concerns over rising ethnic tension in the country as a result of the ongoing discussion on the summons that were issued by the International Criminal Court against 6 post election violence suspects. NCIC chairman Dr Mzalendo Kibunjia said that healing and reconciliation efforts had yet to bear fruits in Western, Nyanza, Rift Valley and Central Provinces, and the situation could be aggravated by the raging ICC debate. According to the commission, the biggest threat to the rule of law is the unhealthy mix of politics with judicial processes, as is the case in the current debate on the ICC cases.
