    "content": "for up scaling up trade, especially on horticultural and livestock products that are already in the Ghanaian market. Mr. Speaker, Sir, he initiated a framework with His Excellency President Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo Brazaville which is home to the second largest forest in the world to establish an environmental and climatic change secretariat that was initially a project of the late Nobel Laurete (Prof.) Wangari Maathai and the Government of Congo Brazaville. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Senator wanted to know whether a similar short-term diplomacy by the former Vice-President was declined by the UN Security Council and whether the shuttle diplomacy is an effort in furtherance of the recent request by Kenya’s Ambassador to the UN, Amb. Macharia Kamau, on the same matter. He also wanted to know whether the ICC will be bound by whatever the Deputy President will procure from the shuttle diplomacy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the visit by His Excellency the Deputy President was not in any way related to the court cases involving a number of Kenyans that are currently before the International Criminal Court (ICC). The visit by the Deputy President, therefore, had no bearing whatsoever on the short-term diplomacy by the former Vice-President or the request by Kenya’s Ambassador to the UN on the same matter. There is no action expected from the ICC as a consequence of the visit to the African countries by the Deputy President. In conclusion, the visit carried out by the Deputy President to the four African countries was undertaken in the best interest of Kenya. The agenda of the visit was entirely official Government business and accrued substantial social economic benefits for the country as enumerated above."
