    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had mentioned the position earlier on. I am mentioning this to my colleague that it is no longer going to be the Executive which will now be bringing any of those instruments to be deposited in the House or sign them. Parliament is the body that is going to make sure that all treaties are discussed first; interrogated and after that, ratify and pass them into Bills. My position is that since the Constitution has already accepted and adopted the principle that any of the earlier Bills which we had signed--- As far as I am concerned right now, we will have to wait and see what decision the House will come up with regard to whatever instruments that are going to be deposited here. Will they be evaluated by this House? The House can decide what it wants to do. But what has taken place already--- I know my colleague is really trying to raise the issue of what happens with the ICC protocols which we have already signed. As far as I am concerned, those are foregone conclusions unless you go back. That is going to take another two to three years before you can reverse them. That position remains and the Government of Kenya has not declared any position other than that."
