    "content": "President, the Rt. hon. Prime Minister and the eight man and women team that was charged with that responsibility. I need not to remind hon. Members that this Accord was entrenched in our national Constitution, therefore, creating a very solemn obligation on the part of the parties and on us, as Members of Parliament. The eight Ministers who represent the parties in the agreement are:- 1. Hon. Moses Wetangula; 2. Hon. Mutula Kilonzo, MP; 3. Hon. Prof. Sam Ongeri, MP; 4. Hon. Martha Karua, MP, (now replaced by Hon. Beth Mugo, MP); 5. Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, MP; 6. Hon. James Orengo, MP; 7. Hon. William Ruto, MP; and, 8. Hon. Sally Kosgei, MP. The journey to this stage began with the unanimous decision of the then NARC Government through the then Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs to ratify the Rome Statue that set up the International Criminal Court in Rome. This country proudly, ratified the Rome Statute on 15th March, 2005 and, therefore, joined the international efforts to end the culture of impunity. This country recognises the exhaustive provisions in that statute to deal with impunity. In too many cases across the world, these crimes had been committed with impunity which had only encouraged others to flout the laws of humanity. The International Criminal Court was created due to that urgent need to end impunity and stop gross violation of the International Humanitarian Law. On 17th July, 1998, the international community reached a historic milestone when 120 states adopted the Rome Statute forming the legal basis for establishing the permanent International Criminal Court. The states were mindful that millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities that have deeply shocked the conscience of humanity. The states were affirming that the most serious crimes of concern to international community must not go unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at the national level and by enhancing international co-operation."
