"content": "shipped off a long time ago. We should ask ourselves what we have done for our country in the last 50 years instead of marveling at the development of others. Look at their roads. They are flying over each other. We hate their appetite for accountability, but love their appetite for development. We want to translocate everything and bring it here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us bring sanity to the debate here. Let us test the facts. If the courts say that there is no sufficient evidence to withstand the prosecution of the President, then so be it. We shall all celebrate; but let it be within the prism of the courts. Let us not come here and all the time politicize matters that are purely judicial. Let us also then build the capacity of our police service to investigate these types of matters. In the future, we want to have the full capacity because the ICC only intervenes when the state is either unwilling or unable. At this point in time, we might be willing or we might be able. However, at some point in time, we were unwilling, yet we were able. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think it is that public policy message that must go out there. I am one of those persons who are extremely reluctant to believe that there are values for white people that are based on universal rights, and there are values for black people. I do not believe that there are values for Africans and there are values for Europeans. Human rights and justice attain to the same values. Even this law and even the processes that we use in this Senate were not developed somewhere in Old Town, River Road or in Nyanza because they were developed as common law systems and practices within the institutions."
