"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the list that has been provided by the international instruments is not complete, as the Minister has said. The fundamental issue is that some of these international instruments have such serious ramifications for our country. However, before the Cabinet approves them, they should be brought to the House for debate before we commit our country. Recently, the Cabinet approved the Rome Statute without bringing it to the attention of the House. Later on, the House ratified it by the domestication of the International Crimes Act. However, we are now seeing how serious that matter was, that the Cabinet entered into that without consulting Parliament. Under those circumstances, what is the Ministry doing to ensure that before the Cabinet commits Kenya in international instruments, they are brought to the House for debate and directions?"
