    "content": "Yes. What happened in 2007 and 2008 is regrettable. We wanted investigations to be done. What pains me is when I see the three Kenyans who are facing criminal charges at The Hague knowing very well and having participated in the General Elections of 2007 that nobody planned violence. Nobody planned anything. It was spontaneous and it is regrettable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today I saw the prosecutor playing a video of installation of Hon. Ruto as an elder like so many of us do over the weekends and she said that this was to make him the leader. This pains me because it is wrong. The investigators who we thought are internationally educated are worse than even our own investigators in the villages. The judges whom we thought would not listen to lies and who were supposed to be very well versed with the law, the wazees at home are better than them. Our courts are much better than the ICC. If proper investigations were done, I do not think those three Kenyans who are facing the charges would be facing them. What happened is that Ocampo came here as a tourist. We entertained him and provided him with security. This man was using a bicycle in Netherlands, but when he came to Kenya a whole Cabinet Minister was waiting for him at the airport with a security detail. A flight was prepared for him using tax payers’ money to fly him to Maasai Mara. It is a shame as a country to entertain such people. That should be the last. We should not entertain them anymore. As I conclude, this Motion is not talking about the withdrawal of the cases which are pending before the ICC. We have read the law very well. We know that our intention to withdraw from the ICC will take a year. However, we are doing it for posterity; for our children. We do not want our children to go to The Hague."
