This was perhaps the most tense day for lovers of politics in Kenya. It was the day the ICC were announcing their ruling on those accused to be responsible for post election violence in 2007. My interest was never at the ruling itself, no. I became intrigued by the people's reaction to the whole thing ...I mean, there were prayers involved and lots of church going went on.
Being placed in a rather remote area,( the land of Hope) I had the opportunity to witness some of the residents reactions.
So I go to a nearby cafe/kiosk for lunch, I found 4 people sited. All of them had sat on the sits that were facing the TV. In order to get an uninterrupted view, the man I had sat next to moved to a sit closer to the TV. U know, to hear the news first! As 'landlover' gave the ruling no one spoke, chewed or swallowed ..it was silence.
