"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just reminding ourselves of what is in the HANSARD and other records. We are not discussing anybody, but these are in the records of this House. So many of us supported The Hague, and today we are saying, âOoh, we are being taken to The Hague. Someone is against us. They want to take us to The Hagueâ. Let us not change our goal posts. Let us be faithful leaders of this country. What you have said you must stand by it. The position you have taken, let it be the real position you have taken. Let us not change goal posts when things change. So many hon. Members of ODM were for the local arrangement. I know and remember Kofi Annan reminding this country that The Hague alternative was not the best. He urged Kenyans to go for the local arrangement in handling the post election violence crimes. He kept repeating it. That is why it took that much time. It took so long for him to hand over to the ICC the envelope that had been given to him by the Wake Commission. The ICC also took a lot of time before they could take over the cases because they wanted Kenyans to go for the local arrangement. But anyway, we still hope that, that issue will be handled locally. Let us have a credible system to handle that matter."
