Karim Khan makes big blunder trying to visit Kenya secretly to brief powerful man
The Karim Khan fiasco has to be amongst the most dramatic developments in Kenya politics in recent times. How so?
Karim Khan, the ICC chief prosecutor, recently experienced an embarrassing visit to Kenya and chances are that this happened simply because he was expecting to go unnoticed and unrecognized. If that indeed is the case, then his plan went horribly wrong.
How did he and those who really invited him think that the face that defended an accused person at the ICC who is now the president would never be recognized in Kenya?
But apart from handing Azimio a very unexpected "gift" for their cause, this visit highlights a significant flaw in Karim Khan's judgment and raises questions about his ability to impartially carry out his duties as the ICC chief prosecutor. How can we trust someone who suspiciously and in a private capacity visits a country where a person accused of serious crimes that he once defended is now president? It is more than concerning that someone in such a high-profile position would make such a misjudgment.
This incident also raises concerns about the integrity and credibility of the ICC itself. How can we have faith in an institution that appoints individuals with questionable backgrounds to key positions? The ICC should be held to the highest standards, and incidents like this only serve to undermine its reputation.
Overall, Karim Khan's embarrassing visit to Kenya serves as a reminder that individuals in positions of power must be held accountable for every little action, even in private if it has relevancy to their work. It also highlights the need for transparency and integrity within international institutions like the ICC.

Recent major political events in Kenya would seem confusing to those who want to stick to official narratives. More so those coming out of a government that is well known for propaganda narratives. The truth is that it is highly unlikely that Karim Khan, the ICC chief prosecutor, would come to Kenya for no reason. As the head of the International Criminal Court's prosecution office, his visits to countries are usually driven by specific purposes and objectives.
It is worth examining the circumstances surrounding Uhuru Kenyatta and his family's decision to leave Kenya for a holiday. And the very disturbing timing for this development. Coincidences can occur, but it is important to consider the context and any potential connections.
Even as some Kenyans are highly expectant of a handshake or agreement of some sort coming out of the ongoing talks between Raila and Ruto teams to end political tensions in the country, the emerging realities on the ground tell us a very different story. And they tell us clearly the bad news; we should not expect much to come out of the talks. Both history and the characters of the main players dissuades any serious observer or analyst looking at this any other way.
Even as dark clouds hang over the nation of Kenya spiritually, some Kenyans have a very bad feeling about this August 2023. And they are convinced that something very big is coming. And it could quite possibly be linked to the dramatic events that have unfolded in the country over the last two months or so. Since Kenya attained her independence and even before, the month of August seems to have a streak of bad luck for politicians in Kenya. Disasters too have happened in Kenya in August. Game-changing major events have also unfolded in this same dreaded month.
