"content": "Allow me to remind the country, without fear, that this country is undergoing a terrible catharsis over the issue of the ICC and the Rome Statute where everybody is watching whether we are going to set a judicial mechanism. That is what I will be recommending as soon as these Bills are through, to reflect the best international standards. Therefore, as you object to the issue of three Kenyans, please bear in mind that the boards are going to be three and each board will have three members. Our idea or the architecture behind this law - and I want to thank Mr. Kajwang for supporting this idea - is that out of the three, one will be a non-Kenyan. The purpose is not because we do not have enough Kenyans. The purpose is in order to impregnate â if I may use that word â these boards with international best practice so that when we conclude the vetting of judges and magistrates, no judge, either in the ICC or the international court, will say that Kenya does not have quality judges who have been vetted. Therefore, I want, as hon. Members wait for the Third Reading, to bear this philosophy in mind; the architecture behind this so that we can, as the Vice-President was saying only this week, win our country back."
