    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the reason why the culture of impunity in this country is so deeply entrenched. We had public officers who took it upon themselves to remind an entire community that they were not part of Kenya. When we talk about the international community; when we talk about sending people to the Hague, if there were people who should have been the first suspects to be sent to the International Criminal Court, it is those who have governed this country under this law. They have documentation. When we talk about the Wagalla Massacre, it is nothing compared to the incidents that took place there at the hands of the Provincial Administration. We cannot forget that it is only in that region, where a Provincial Commissioner has the powers of a Resident Magistrate; where a District Commissioner has the powers of a District Magistrate. They could arrest a person, investigate the crime, try them, convict them and then supervise their imprisonment, all under the arm of one system of Government. So, if there is any person who should be really worried about going to the Hague, it should not be the 20 people in the envelope that Kofi Annan sent to Ocampo, but the people who were the Provincial Commissioners and DCs in this region. These are the people who abused the law to disenfranchise and take properties from communities and killed them. The Mover talked about rape."
