"content": "Hon. Speaker, it took me time to study the ICC and the Rome Statute. It took me time to find out why some countries refused to join the ICC as others joined. The Americans had a very good reason. That is the reason as to why I feel that Kenya must follow suit. If you allow me, I would like to read out part of what a former USA ambassador to the UN Security Council said about the ICC. The Americans were very contradictory, but today they are ardent supporters of the Rome Statute. He said the following:- “The President of the United States of America is determined to protect our citizens – soldiers and civilians, peacekeepers and officials – from the ICC. Should the ICC eventually seek to detain any American, the United States of America could regard this as illegitimate and it could have serious consequences. No nation should underestimate our commitment to protect our citizens. We will not permit Americans to be jailed because judges of the ICC are chosen without the participation of those over whom they claim jurisdiction.”"
