The International Criminal Court has accused six high-profile Kenyans of being behind the violence that led to 1,200 deaths. Several questions are arising. We'll be live in Kibera (on the outskirts of Nairobi) to hear reaction from people there. How would you answer the questions below?
That''s all from our programme today. See you tomorrow - when it''ll be Claudia hosting your comments. In the meantime, you can keep posting at and

Nana in Kumasi, Ghana - Yes there is a good and bad aspects of oil money, just as fire can be a good servant but a bad servant as well. We seriously intend to use it solve most accomodation, road, health, infrastructure, sports, education problems in Ghana, just as Qatar has done.

Koffi in Accra - Ghana is not Nigeria. We've not built our hopes on oil - and some of us just don't care. We've managed to attain middle income status without oil.

Eden in Uganda - All we should be demanding is that corruption levels are kept at an acceptable minimum. Do not heap any more pressure on Ghana than that.

Bryan in Toronto - Oil and Money have become the two biggest corruptors in today's society. Suddenly giving a developing nation both in ample amounts is a recipe for an oily disaster.

The only way Ghana could benefit from oil is for the Ghanaian private companies to buy the oil fields from foreign companies so that the money will stayin Ghana. It shd not go to develop others. We should also keep away corrupt people and miscreants. Felix, Ghana.

Ahmed on the blog - As a Nigerian, and coming from an oil producing country, I'll advise the Ghanaian Government to learn from Nigeria's mistake by distributing the resource to the people who the lands will be withdrawn from.

Dennis emailed - Look North to Norway, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to see good examples of how to manage oil wealth. Look East to your neighbour Nigeria to see a glaring example of how not to manage wealth from oil.

Clifford on the blog - The ghanaian government has approved the collateralization of 70% of the oil revenue for contract loans(hopefully for infranstractural development). The same paliament rejected the 10% allocation of funds to developing the region where the oil is located. I hope we are not following the footstps of Nigeria.
