Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has said NASA presidential candidate and opposition leader Raila Odinga may end up in exile or at the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC).Although he did not elaborate circumstances under which the former Prime Minister may be exiled or face charges at the ICC, Kuria said Raila had resorted to “extra-legal means” in his quest to ascend to State House.“If Supreme Court nullified an entire election, what was so difficult for Raila to go back to the same judges and ask them to pronounce themselves on the so-called 'Irreducible minimums'?” Kuria wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.“Why resort to extra-legal means? This man is headed straight to either exile as a fugitive or to the ICC. Keep this post,” he added.Kuria is among Jubilee leaders who have consistently criticised Raila who has unsuccessfully contested for the presidency four times.The lawmaker represents Gatundu constituency where President Uhuru who Raila challenged during the March 2013 and August 8 presidential election comes from.There have been calls by a section of the ruling party’s leaders that the ICC should probe the violence that sprung up after Uhuru was declared the winner of the August poll.Rights groups in a recent report said 33 people died during the violence.On Monday, a team of Jubilee allied professionals led by former MPs Ababu Namwamba (Budalang’i) and Danson Mungatana (Garsen) said they have written to the ICC to commence investigations against Raila and his Deputy Kalonzo Musyoka and prefer charges in case they are found culpable of fueling violence after the August 8 general election.Six Kenyans who were said to have fueled violence after the December 2007 presidential election was charged at the ICC.They included former Uhuru Kenyatta who was then Finance Minister, William Ruto, then Agriculture Minister and then Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura.Others were then Police Commissioner Hussein Ali, journalist Joshua arap Sang and then Industrialisation Minister Henry Kosgey.
