Museveni and British premier Gordon Brown outside 10 Downing Street yesterdayTHE Government can save LRA leader Joseph Kony and his co-accused from prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC), President Yoweri Museveni said yesterday.
“We can save him because we are the ones who sought assistance from the ICC,” said the President who was addressing journalists at the Commonwealth Secretariat at Marlborough House in London.
“Because he was not under our jurisdiction, we sought assistance from the ICC. If he signs the peace agreement and returns to our jurisdiction, it becomes our responsibility not any other party’s, including the ICC.”
Museveni, on a two-day working visit to the UK as the chairman of the Commonwealth, explained that the Government sought ICC’s assistance because Kony had fled to the DR Congo. (more) www.newvision.co.ug
