    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. This issue is weighty. Since it involves lives of Kenyans, it is good for it to be handled with the care it deserves by both sides of the political divide. Support should be exercised cautiously, so that hon. Members do not go overboard by saying that they will block the national airport and hold national demonstrations. I am sure they are not talking for the people who have cases at The Hague. Their emotions show support but I want to urge the House that these are cases involving the President, the Deputy President and another Kenyan, Mr. Sang. We need to exercise caution because these are people with families and relatives, who have feelings. The Hague cases are not very good to the families of the affected people. Rather than extend the debate on the statements that were made by the hon. Members who have shown support or sought clarification, we should let it die because these matters are very sensitive. I can imagine how I would be feeling if I were the one having a case at The Hague. Therefore, I would rather the clarifications sought by some hon. Members on this matter be treated as hot air and some way of trying to drum support for the affected individuals, which is not very important.
