    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am a seasoned Member of this House and I know the procedures. I am moving the Motion. So, Article 1 of the Constitution gives this House and the leadership the mandate, functions of delegation and the sovereign power. That again forms the basis of my Motion; the matter before us is of great national importance; it touches on the sovereignty of our nation. When the framers of the Rome Statute met in Rome, they created the Rome Statute, and even put in the article under which when a nation is not happy with the Statute they can pull out. One of the reasons why I feel that the Motion before the House is important is because the sovereignty of Kenya - it has a functional Judiciary and a vibrant democracy - is one of the best emerging democracies in Africa. The framers of the Rome Statute foresaw the scenario under which the International Criminal Court (ICC) can come in. I want to ask a question: Kenya is not a failed state. If the solution of 2007/2008 post- election problem is what the framers of the Rome Statute anticipated, is the Constitution of Kenya 2010 in vain? Is the Preamble of the Constitution in vain? We, the people of Kenya, must say “no” to any infringement of our Constitution."
