    "content": "Exactly, because it is not possible. Our own Constitution will still hold our people in The Hague. That is the truth. Whereas we would wish not to punish any Kenyan, what we are doing now is actually adding fuel to the fire that is already burning our two heads. We are irritating the prosecution process at The Hague. We are doing it at the wrong time and let me be quoted later when you will already have made this mistake. Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Section 143 are clear that the President cannot be touched by the court. It is in the computer and it is being read by everybody. Why are we alerting them to this? Why are we putting Hon. Ruto and Hon. Kenyatta into problems by making an unwise move? Why now? Think about it. Think critically about it. Even if we said that we pass this Motion, it would not come into effect until after 12 months from now. What would have happened? I think in this House, there are some people who are pretending that they support the President and the Deputy President but actually they want to burn them. Hon. Ruto and I opposed the draft constitution because of this process and nobody listened. Today, the Seconder of the Motion did not prohibit herself from actually nearly trying to say that Ruto is there by right. The HANSARD can say the truth about it. That is the truth. Let us not propel our two brothers to be convicted because The Hague Court will think that Kenyans are not interested. Let the law follow its course. I beg to move and ask Sen. Hassan to second."
