    "content": "When the Chairman of the Committee asked me to come and attend the session, really, I was away and that is not a crime. But, then, the Committee did go ahead and interviewed the Attorney General and, for sure, the Committee is composed of Members of Parliament from both sides of the House. I am sure the interrogation was adequate. Really, without belabouring the point, what I am saying is that, even though we know that the AU Resolution - the Resolution of the 21st Ordinary Session in Addis - was collective, what I would have expected the Attorney-General to say, through the Committee, is that, the resolution is collective but the Kenya Government’s position is that it supports it. It supports the referral of the ICC cases back to Kenya. Again, we find a contradiction because, in the end, the Attorney General is saying: When he was concluding that the ICC as envisaged by the Rome Statute is a court of last resort - which again is obvious and everybody knows that - the Kenyan cases were not referred to the ICC by chance. They were taken to the ICC by Kenya itself. So, really, to state the obvious is to say nothing for sure. What I am saying is that the matter of hiding behind some collective responsibility of the African Union is really harming us as a country. Why do I say so?"
