ICC Investigators Identify Six Hotspots in Chaos

Nairobi — Detectives from the International Criminal Court (ICC) have narrowed down their investigations into Kenya's post election violence to six hotspots.


Sources close to the investigations said the investigators who jetted in the country three weeks ago were concentrating on the six parts of the country, which were hardest hit by the violence that followed the disputed presidential elections in 2007.

The six hotspots are: Uasin Gishu, the greater Kericho, Kisumu, Naivasha, Mathare and Kibera slums.
Justice minister Mutula Kilonzo confirmed that the ICC investigators were already in the country collecting evidence in the six areas that were most affected by the deadly violence that almost tore the country apart.

"Yes, they are in the country. They are interviewing people in hospitals, mortuaries and in those areas where the violence took place, they came three weeks ago," Mr Kilonzo stated.
1,133 people were killed and 650,000 more uprooted from their homes - many of who are still living in camps for the internally displaced people two and a half years after the chaos.
