Uganda’s President, to urge African Union to withdraw from ICC

“I supported the court at first because I like discipline. I do not want people to err without accountability,” he said. “But they have turned it into a vessel for oppressing Africa again so I am done with that court. I will not work with them again.”

Uganda has in the past sought the assistance of the ICC in bringing warlord Joseph Kony to account for war crimes in northern Uganda over 2 decades.

Kenyatta and Ruto also addressed the ceremony in an open-air stadium in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, saying they were confident Ruto and his co-accused would also be vindicated.

“I ask you all to join me in supporting my deputy and his co-accused as they also await their overdue vindication,” Kenyatta said.
