"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been a lot of talk about the ICC and the local tribunal. Sometimes I wonder; even the hon. Member who has just finished contributing â I think it is high time, through the Speakerâs and the Clerkâs offices, that when such a matter is happening, we get copies of the HANSARD on the contribution of each Member put somewhere where they can be able to refer because maybe they find it difficult to refer to the HANSARD. I note that what people contributed when we were talking about the Hague issue and the ICC process is totally different from what they are now saying. They believe that nothing was recorded. I think that is what is causing us problems. I wonder why the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has been spending so much money on shuttle diplomacy and when I pass Nakuru to Kericho, I see a lot of people still living in camps. When we talk of somebody going to other countries to seek how they can defend the six, why can they not look the other side? If we are spending Kshs30 million on the suspects, we should also be able to spend Kshs30 million on the IDPs and even compensate those who died. We have been talking about the people who died in Kisumu and Kakamega, while Mbale which is a small area in my constituency has not been recorded whereas about 20 people were killed there on 30th December immediately after the announcement of the results of the elections of 2007. About 22 people were injured out of gunshots and there has been no compensation or talk about it. We have got people who came from other parts of the country to settle there and they are living with friends and relatives. Nobody is talking about their compensation. So, I think we are not being sincere."
