"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, several other hon. Members contributed today, including Mr. Bahari who called for creation of jobs for the youth. I may not be able to single out each one of them but generally, I believe that all were very supportive of the Governmentâs legislative agenda that was presented in the House and everyone is very clear that we need to implement it. This is a view that all of us in the Government share. We have plans but what we need is implementation. As expected, the issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the local mechanism to deal with the post-election violence featured prominently, especially in the first two days of the debate. I wish to thank hon. Members for the candid manner in which they expressed themselves on the matter, regardless of the side from which one was speaking. It is very clear from the contributions in the HANSARD that when the Bill is brought to this House, hon. Members will look at it very differently from the way it was handled last time. This means that we have, at least, made progress and learnt a few lessons as a nation. In the meantime, I agree with those who opined that we should not let the ICC issues and the debate around it take away our energy, distract us from the workload in this House which is very critical for the implementation of the new Constitution in the limited time that we have."
