It is true that ICC Prosectuor Faotou Bensouda inherited a lot of mess from Loius Moreno Ocampo, whom many anti-ICC Kenyans accuse of carrying out shoddy investigations, and relying on NGOs. Here is why Ruto and Sang defense teams are not happy with the Kenyan NGOs:
-The Waki list was prepared from NGO reports, with little or no input from the ground, and the victims.
-Most NGOs receive funds from Western governments making them pander to the whims of Western governments.
- Some NGOs, specifically, the Open Society for East Africa- OSEA- associated with billionaire financier, George Soros, have been linked with regime changes in the world, such as the Eastern Europe, and the Orange revolution in Ukraine in 2004. To anti- ICC supporters, such international political foundations may
use ICC to effect regime changes to put candidates it deems are good for their liberal agenda.
- Some of the NGO key pointmen, John Githongo, Hassan Omar, Gladwell Otieno, have taken on an anti-government stance for a very long time, and may have relished the opportunity to cut Ruto, Sang and Uhuru to size. Hassan Omar, for example, ran on a Cord ticket, putting to doubt his impartiality even as he was listed among the ICC witnesses to testify against the three accused by ICC.
