    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Ikolomani asked for a Statement regarding the talks that were held on 6th November, 2009 in Nairobi between the Government of Kenya officials and Mr. Luis Moreno- Ocampo, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. In particular, he wanted to know the following:- (i) What did the two principals tell Mr. Ocampo and what did he tell them? (ii) What were the concrete resolutions that were reached at these talks? (iii)When indicted, will high ranking Government officials immediately forfeit their positions of influence, power and authority? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I proceed to address myself to the specific issues raised by the hon. Member for Ikolomani, I would first like to cover the twin issues of impunity and the need to hold perpetrators of the post-election violence accountable. The Government is committed to ending impunity in its various forms. Those hon. Members who attended the launch of the new Constitution at the KICC must have seen the video that was shown there on the brutality that took place in our country last year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question whether impunity prevails or offenders are held accountable attracts much divided opinions within and outside this august House. There is unanimity that peace and reconciliation are essential to national cohesion. Truth telling and accountability are key ingredients in peace and reconciliation efforts."
