    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, an hon. Senator has said we are a cassava republic. We should forget this court and join more progressive countries like China and the United States of America (USA) who are not members of this banana republic court. That is the reason why, for posterity, we must get out of this court. Lastly, before we move from this court, I am proposing that our country should be able to initiate an amendment that will say that a country which is not a member of the ICC cannot be tried by the ICC. Once we get out of this court, in the next one or two years, after the amendment, then we will walk home together knowing that we are no longer subject to such a court for any reason. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our great men, Joshua Arap Sang, William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta are just, but sacrificial lambs. They are hanging on the cross on behalf of all of us. Time has come, as the Senate, as an important institution, to stand and say that we will no longer allow a situation where our leaders will hang on the cross. We will come to a time when we will say our country can stand on its feet. I support, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
