    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, in July, 2008, the US Secretary of State rendered a public apology to the people of Africa and, particularly, South Africa because in July – that was exactly 18 years and five months - the great icon of anti-apartheid crusade, Nelson Mandela Madiba, was still on the terror list of Americans and so, was the Foreign Minister, who was another icon of anti-apartheid crusade. The issue of the ICC that is engulfing us all the time, despite the denials that the Grand Coalition Government or the previous regime had actually not endorsed in collectivity--- It is good to inform my colleague that a Motion was brought to the House in the Tenth Parliament and was overwhelmingly passed by the Tenth Parliament. The Motion stated that Kenya should withdraw from the Rome Statute because Jendayi Frazer said that the ICC is an institution that has increasingly become a punishment beacon for Africans but, selectively, not applied to those who even proclaim not to visit Kenya because of the ICC cases and they are not signatories. I want to inform the hon. Member so that, as he moves forward, he should know that the sovereign will of AU and the Republic of Kenya – as particularly applied on 4th of March, 2013 - supersedes any other consideration; and that we can continue with the procedural process just for the respect of the international conventions. It is the same Americans who were denying Nelson Mandela, 18 years and five months, the global respect. That, in itself, is a statement that they are on the wrong and we are on the right."
