    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It will be very wrong for me to disagree with my leader. So, I will restrain myself. Nonetheless, let me say that this is a serious matter. There is no peace around the country. Whether you believe in the ICC or not, much of this lack of peace is about Kenyans being prosecuted in a foreign land. The carelessness with which politicians are treating this issue is unacceptable for our country. Hon. Waititu has just spoken of an elected President. He said that he will resign if the elected President tries to go to The Hague, and that he will block the road to the airport. The law says that the presidency is a co-ticket nowadays. There is a running mate. Hon. Ruto leaves this country for The Hague frequently and loyally. Why have they not gone to block hon. Ruto from going to The Hague? What is so special about our President that is not special about my friend, hon. Ruto? Are we encouraging one person to disobey the law and the other one to respect the law? For those of us who are Members of Parliament, this is real. I want the Leader of Majority Party to clarify this matter because there is disquiet. We listen to the ongoing trials in The Hague every day. We listen to the evidence. We listen to the lies or the truths. Hon. Members of this House have asked why the people who framed hon. Ruto are still sitting in the Executive. What is the opinion of the Government? When will they resign? I want to know because they are the same people who led us into the violence of 2007. Why are these people still in Government? What is the opinion of the Executive on the matter?"
