                       Kenya May Vote to Withdrawfrom ICC

   Lawmakers in Kenya have begun debating whether the country should
   withdraw from the International Criminal Court, just two months before
   President Uhuru Kenyatta is to be tried for crimes against humanity.
   Mr. Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are both accused of
   orchestrating violence after Kenya`s 2007 elections. About 1,200 people
   were killed in the unrest.
   Both men deny the accusations and have pledged to cooperate with the
   Hague-based tribunal. The proceedings against them will proceed no
   matter how the Kenyan parliament votes.
   Ruto`s trial is scheduled to begin next week.
   Tribunal prosecutors say relatives of witnesses have been approached
   with bribes and threats before the trials.
