    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this Motion. I am truly proud to be a Kenyan. Allow me to say najivunia kuwa Mkenya. I am saying this because I have seen history happening. The President demonstrated to the whole world wisdom, unique maturity and a mark of respect by the decision that he took. There was anxiety and pain because people did not know what to do. It put some of us into a state of despair because we did not know what would come next. However, the decision that the President took left a mark that others should emulate. He exercised his democratic and constitutional right. He has earned a name for this country.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the ICC has in the recent past admitted on several occasions that there is no case to answer. Charges against some have been dropped and we know them. It has been protracted and we do not know when it will end.

But my lady African judge has continued and I am still urging her that this case should end, so that we can allow this country and our President, whom we love very much, to develop and fulfill the Jubilee manifesto. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the President within a short period of one year has dialogued and gone out to promote investment in the country. At the moment, our country is enjoying a very good relationship internationally. I am saying this because when I was recently in the USA, the Kenyan delegation was given a lot of respect in the hotel we were staying. We were treated very well because of what the President had been promoting during his past visits. I am happy to note that 90 per cent of Kenyans were The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
