    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they were shouting: “Do not be vague, go to The Hague”. The Chair was one of them and Sen. Muthama has even confessed that he was given facilitation to mobilize people to defeat us.” So, Sometimes when you are talking from a point of not knowing something very well, then just stand up to support the Motion and do not go into the details. When you are debating, you must bring the historical perspective of any matter. We must ask ourselves why and how we got to The Hague. That is the bottom line. What you are sharing with Kenyans now is what we were sharing with Kenyans in the Tenth Parliament when we were saying that no Kenyan should stand before any foreigner for trial. You defeated us and we honourably conceded defeat and let you drag those Kenyans to The Hague. You have now dragged them to Hague and turned around and started blaming us. This kind of blame game and absolute hypocrisy must stop. You should stand by what you said and mean what you said. You should be ready to defend it in the House or outside this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, another group which is doing us a lot of injustice is the media; the Fourth Estate, who have the list of how Members voted for this Motion. Why do they not, once in a while save Kenyans all this drama by publishing the names and constituencies of those who voted for The Hague and those who voted for a local tribunal.
