In the remaining one or two minutes that I have to speak, I would like to interrogate the lessons that we teach ourselves as leaders of this country, or as members of the great Kenyan nation, on this particular move by the President. One thing I want to remind Kenyans, and Members, is that the President, during the live debates before the election, admitted to Kenyans that the ICC case was a personal matter. I want to remind Kenyans that yes, indeed, this issue is personal. Issues of criminal nature are personal responsibility. Because criminal acts are individual, I think it was very good for the President to go and appear as anyone else who is charged before a foreign court, or even our national courts. I say this without fear or any doubt in my mind that the drafters of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and the people of Kenya--- When the people of Kenya agreed to give themselves this Constitution it was very clear in their mind that there should never be a time when anybody would be above the law; there should never be a time when somebody is not subject to the law.
