    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say something to this ongoing Motion. First, I want to thank the President because he really behaved like the President of the people by speaking to the legislators who represent Kenyans. That was the only way he could reach out to his people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the ICC, I do not want to know what will happen or what will take place because the law should be allowed to take its course. What is important to pass to Kenyans is that what are we doing as a country to reconcile the people of Kenya, especially the people who were affected? Secondly, I do not want to be held accountable because it is written in the Bible that we should not judge. I want to believe that even as we are speaking, maybe the President and his Deputy have asked God for forgiveness for whatever things the people may be feeling they did. It is between them and their God. I want to believe that God knows the perpetrators of whatever happened. The very people are still wounded and we should not sit and say that all is well. We have people who are still in pain and they are only looking forward to justice. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the process of the ICC is like a remedy to stop such behaviour happening again in this country. I feel so sad when somebody says that we should pull out from the ICC.
