  2. Hog wash and utter nonsense! Indicting sitting heads of state who have committed atrocities is the right thing to do. To claim that it will cause chaos is so self serving and the height of dishonesty. Is this because of Kenyatta and Ruto that we are losing our principles? What a shame!! I cannot recognize this Tanzania leadership!!
