    "content": "you. I do not have to say what pleases you. I only say what I believe is the right thing to say. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the address to the two Houses was misguided, unnecessary and a waste of time. It is even a bigger waste of time to bring a Motion to debate that address, when it related to a purely personal matter that has nothing to do with the nation. This is because the President of Kenya is not indicted. It is one Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta who is indicted. He rightly said that he was going there as an indictee and person. So, who are we to say that he was not, when he already acknowledges that he was indicted as a person? That is what it is. I think he is doing the right things and we hope that Kenya will go through this phase. I want to caution some of the statements I hear from some of our colleagues here. For example, you heard the Seconder of the Motion speaking in terms like we who are seating across here are controlling the process of The Hague case. This is idle talk which is unnecessary and reckless because we have got no interest in pushing anybody into the mud. I have practiced law in this country for the last 32 years. I have acted for the good, the bad and the ugly. So have you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. A lawyer will always stand to defend the interests and the legal protection of the client; nobody is guilty until proven so. That remains the same whether you are the President or a villager in Korogocho, Pokot, Bungoma, Mombasa or Laikipia. They are all equal before the law and we shall remain and must respect the law. You can praise as much as you want, but the law remains the law. Shakespeare said that the law is an ass; it remains the law. Thank you."
