[Photo|ODM]NASA co-principal Musalia Mudavadi and lead counsel Siaya senator James Orengo, have defended their seniors, Raila Odinga and his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka, after they were 'taken' to International Criminal Court (ICC).Two Kenyans, Martin Nkari, and Kenneth Otieno, have petitioned the court, asking it to investigate the two leaders over what they termed as “inflammatory conduct” and other crimes that fall within the jurisdiction of the court.They have jointly instructed a Canadian law firm to formally ask ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to launch investigations into the Opposition leaders, citing cases of violence being witnessed by Nasa demonstrations against the electoral body, IEBC.However, Orengo and Mudavadi dismissed the move, saying Nasa leaders did not contravene any law by calling for demonstrations."Our supporters have carried themselves with decorum, it is the police that have killed by the bullet and maimed. Why kill unarmed people participating in a constitutional exercise," Mudavadi told the Standard, and further said they had not been made aware of the filing at ICC. "We have nothing to fear. Entry by ICC would mean Jubilee government is unable or unwilling. Let them try,” added Orengo.
