:17:41. > :17:48.some security people in the government. My advice was to talk
:17:48. > :17:55.to the government and the Attorney General, because the judiciary
:17:55. > :17:59.could not help in that direction. He implication is that it is Kenyan
:17:59. > :18:02.politicians not judges who are stalling the process. The
:18:02. > :18:09.government strongly denies any allegations of foot-dragging and
:18:09. > :18:14.says it has requested -- received 31 requests from the ICC, most of

:19:23. > :19:29.We now have the judiciary we can live with. Therefore, if in de

:19:34. > :19:39.old ways of doing politics still appear to be the same. Just a few
:19:39. > :19:46.months back, local dispute in South East Kinnear turned into a bloody
:19:46. > :19:54.massacre. It looked like a deliberate attempt by politicians
:19:54. > :19:58.to steer up ethnic tensions. And even recent party nominations ended
:19:59. > :20:06.in chaos and some historically volatile areas, and it makes you
:20:06. > :20:10.wonder what will happen come election day. This is the junction
:20:10. > :20:15.where different communities meet. If there are clashes, this is where
:20:15. > :20:20.it will happen. There has already been sporadic fighting in the past

:20:24. > :20:29.scorch marks on the pavements. It leaves an unsettling feeling that
:20:29. > :20:33.in spite of everything, politicians are still prepared to settle
:20:33. > :20:43.disputes out here on the streets. So some business owners are taking

:22:49. > :22:56.I wish it was me who was burnt. And not Anthony. Whenever he goes for

:24:54. > :25:00.this to me, I would forgive him. I will leave the rest to God. I asked
