Kenya: Ocampo - Govt Must Give Plan Against Violence Chiefs

Nairobi — International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Lui Moreno Ocampo on Friday asked Kenya for a 12-month plan showing how the country intends to bring key culprits of the 2007 election violence to justice.

Mr Ocampo is also seeking a status report on the investigations and prosecutions on the post-election violence that claimed lives of 1,300 Kenyans and displaced more than 300,000.

Kenya is also to report on how it is protecting victims and potential witnesses ahead of the justice process.

The prosecutor made these requests when he met a delegation from Kenya that included Justice Minister Mutula Kilonzo, Lands Minister James Orengo and Attorney General Amos Wako.
