It is clear to Koigi's attorneys that the judiciary in this matter is completely compromised, not at all independent of the executive powers in Kenya as it should be. Recently President Moi of Kenya has made several decisions which show he is quite susceptible to pressure from donor nations. Paul Muite recently spoke to the British High Commission who had met with President Moi. It is already significant he hasn't given a clear message to Tuiyot yet, which can be viewed as a tribute to the level of international scrutiny he feels at present. Moi is very vulnerable to donor pressure and public citizen pressure from donor nations.
Pressure is felt here in Kenya.
This is the time to apply maximum pressure. If Koigi and his co-defendants are found guilty of the charges, which Amnesty International and other human rights group believe have been shown to be unfounded, they face a mandatory death penalty. The fifteen month trial of Koigi wa Wamwere and his co-defendants ended on July 25th concluding with a consistent record of substantial and procedural injustices.
