    "content": "Hon. Speaker, first of all, I want to say that to the extent that the President decided to respect the Constitution of this country especially with regard to Articles 2, 5, and 6 of the Constitution by appearing before the ICC, that is commendable. We live in a continent where leaders are rogue. We live in a continent where you do not expect leaders to respect the rule of law. I thank our President for accepting to listen to wise council from some of his advisors. I would want him to retain those advisors who told him to go to The Hague. This has shown our country as one that respects the rule of law. He should not listen to some of the neighbours who talk very loudly. This is because they have nothing to show in terms of democracy and good governance. Listening to somebody like Mugabe would be a disaster to this country. Listening to other leaders like our great neighbour here would be a disaster to this country. So, I thank our President for not listening to them."
