Last month the continental body, the African Union, said the ICC should delay its trial of Kenya's president, in part because Kenya faces increased security challenges after September's militant attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall that killed 67 people. "The African Union leaders' club is very different from the African people," Githongo said, adding later: "It's a bunch of millionaires, some of whom killed a lot of people to get into that club," citing coups, vote manipulations and the extra-long stays in power by some African presidents. [...] the institute noted that the Rome Statute that created the ICC does not grant immunity for heads of state or other senior government officials. The ICC charged Kenyatta and Ruto with crimes against humanity, including murder, forcible population transfer and persecution, for their alleged roles in postelection violence that left more than 1,000 people dead in late 2007 and early 2008.
