Evidence gathered by the national intelligence agency is turning out to be a strong element in Luis Moreno-Ocampo’s effort to push the Kenyan case to trial.

So far, the prosecutor has relied heavily on information gathered by the National Security Intelligence Agency (NSIS) to corroborate testimonies by his witnesses.

He has also significantly benefited  from the work of the Waki Commission, Human Rights Watch and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

In its two-day submission, the prosecution relied on NSIS situation reports to strengthen arguments that Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Head of Public Service Francis Muthaura held meetings and deployed the outlawed Mungiki gangs for retaliatory attacks in Naivasha and Nakuru after the 2007 General Election with the aim of protecting the Kibaki presidency. 

The two allegedly executed the plan with the support of then police commissioner Hussein Ali.

But on Saturday, mr Muthaura’s lawyers led by mr Karim Khan and Gambian mr Essa Faal accused the prosecution of ignoring evidence by NSIS director-general Michael Gichangi that reports of the alleged planning meetings were “rumours”. 

“The NSIS is a critical institution, but the prosecutor turned away from the truth when it was convenient,” said mr Faal.

Quoting several witnesses and reports, including those of the NSIS, the prosecution has claimed before the Pre-Trial Chamber that millions of shillings were raised by mr Kenyatta and other PNU MPs to finance the killer mission that was jointly executed by Mungiki militia and pro-PNU youth.

Prosecutors have argued that NSIS reports show that as of January 3, 2008, the former MPs were mobilising the Mungiki to retaliate.

Much of the evidence by the NSIS at the prosecutor’s disposal was relayed to him by the Waki Commission which interviewed top intelligence officials, including mr Gichangi.

Senior Counsel Paul Muite says evidence by the intelligence agency would be valuable in corroborating witness statements.

“The NSIS statements would be seen as impartial because the agency didn’t know that the evidence would be relayed to the International Criminal Court,” he told the Sunday Nation.

Intelligence reports, some of which were made available to the Waki Commission and apparently transmitted to the ICC, named possible suspects for the violence in Nakuru, Naivasha and Nairobi.

In his testimony — part of which was given in camera — mr Gichangi was keen to demonstrate that the agency did its work and pointed fingers at the police for failing to take appropriate action.

The Waki Commission said the NSIS collected information on the planning of violence in Naivasha by Mungiki members and politicians at local and national levels.

I'm building a project and I would like to know where I can buy those Parts; Mini microphones kit, Mini Surveillance camera kit, mini speaker kit, and communication device kit that can plug to the phone line. please help me, thank you in advance.

A best place to find all these parts that is reliable, efficient and at affordable rates, you can find it in this website… audio-direct.com/

I would like a system with a couple of small, easily hidden cameras. I would prefer wireless so that I could hide the part of the system that recorded data from the camera and cameras that had motion detectors. Remote viewing (from a cell phone or laptop) would be a plus.

I am looking for something do-it-yourself and inexpensive.

my suggestion may be difficult for you to impliment if you've never used linux before, but it's probably the cheapest way you could do this. Buy some wireless webcams, and find an old computer (I'd recommend at least 512 MB RAM and a 20 GB hard drive or so). Install Linux (Ubuntu is easiest) and install the program Motion. You have to configure it through config files. It will record when it detects motion in the images coming from the cams, no hardware motion detector required. Set up a cron job to delete files older than a couple of weeks to keep the hard drive from filling up. It's possible to view it while you're not at home, although I haven't actually done that (I have however set up webcams with an old linux computer as a security system for my bedroom. I used cams I already had and an old laptop. Total cost: $0).

If you're interested, you have the information you need to look into the specifics of setting everything up.

edit: just going to add that using the program Motion is far easier than it looks at first. when you're first setting it up, you can probably ignore instructions about finding and installing drivers for the cameras. the operating system will probably already recognize your cameras.

IP cameras are an awesome resource for home security systems since they let you access and move your camera from anywhere in the world as well as from your phone! I have these installed in my home and provides me piece of mind if the alarm goes off and I am not home to see what is going on. Hope this helps you!

You have a lot of options. Not sure if you have an alarm system in your home or not – and some of the best systems combine the functionality of both.

These days, most homeowners don't use a DVR for home video, and DVR's are left to the commercial applications where they really need to have constant recording for cash registers, employee security, etc. Today's smart cameras for the home are wireless and have motion analytics built into them, so that the camera only records (usually a clip, like 15 seconds) when activated by motion. You really don't care if nothing is going on, right? the clips can be sent directly to you. These cameras can also be viewed remotely from any web-enabled device – and what's even better, the video clips can be stored remotely by your service provider, where you can access them.

What I am describing is actually the video service that we include with our cellular and interactive monitoring services: next-gen features, integrated with home security Here is a link to the video section of our web site:

You would be amazed how reasonable these systems are, especially in light of what they can do. This may be a viable solution for her, but regardless, it's good to know what's out there, and the direction the industry is taking.

I've heard of many parents these days using hidden cameras to spy on their nanny or babysitter. I'd like to know what the general opinion of Y!A users is.

From a parent's point of view, you're simply doing all you can to protect your children. From a babysitter's point of view, it can be quite insulting to discover you've been filmed.

I think it's ethical. My ethics lead me to protect my child no matter what. A babysitter/nanny shouldn't be doing anything s/he doesn't want to be seen by the parents, so it shouldn't be insulting.

I don't know. I can see both sides. The child care workers at our daycare have a camera on them all day. I don't think it's insulting, although a "hidden" camera might be.

I guess my take is that if you do enough research (get references), you should be able to trust your sitter. would we do it to our children's school teachers? I completely understand the other point of view to though but as a nanny myself, I can't fathom feeling good about the parents who chose me to watch their child but don't really trust me.

When it comes to the safety of your kids, sometimes its okay to screw ethics.

I would, however, tell the nanny that I have nanny cams. I have heard people say, oh, no, don't tell the nanny, it defeats the point. Not in my opinion. I wouldn't use a nanny cam because I want "to catch the nanny doing something wrong." I would use one to ensure my child's safety. I just wouldn't tell the nanny where the cams where.

I wouldn't leave my child with anyone who I didn't trust far beyond feeling the need to watch them secretly.

You don't need a "nanny-cam". you need to do more research in finding your nanny.

I would be deeply offended, and rather disturbed, to discover that a parent didn't trust me at that level _but had still hired me to care for their kids_.

Yes it's ethical…if the Nanny has nothing to hide they should have no problem with it…it wouldn't bother me if I were a Nanny or Sitter.

Yes, I think it is ethical.

OF COURSE they are not going to be obvious cameras. Most people, knowing they are being filmed, are going to act accordingly. you would want to ensure that the Nanny is properly caring for your child adn the camera can get a true glimpse of that. If she knew there was a camera at X location, she would act appropriately there-but what about somewhere else?

It should not be insulting to someone, unless they have something to hide.

if i was leaving my son with a nanny or a baby sitter then for sure i would want something like that!! i am lucky enough to be a stay at home mum and my mum is great looking after my little guy. i have left him with a babysitter once for half an hour i had a horrible time and couldnt wait to go home hence why it was only half an hour!! i hate the idea of leaving my son with someone i dont know!
