    "content": "I would want to wonder when we are showing partiality in application of the law; when the Government has put its machinery at the disposal of the suspects, and it has not put the same machinery at the disposal of the victims, is this the environment where the Government now can say that impartial investigations and trials can be conducted? There is nothing wrong with wanting a local tribunal, but the questions are: Will it have an international component because this is a highly emotive political issue? I noticed that when the President was appointing a tribunal to investigate the Deputy Chief Justice, he was able to source internationally. In that tribunal is a Tanzanian judge. In the vetting of the police, we have a Ghanaian judge and many others. Are they looking for an international component so as to depoliticize this particular matter? As for the President saying that we should not politicize the ICC, maybe he ought to remember that it is his Government that is politicizing it by showing open partiality to the suspects and not showing reasonable care for the victims and witnesses."
