We saw there was total support at the African Union (AU). It was unanimous; they support Kenya’s case for deferral. This is the same case with Inter- Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) countries, which supported the deferral of the six cases by Mr. Ocampo. Now the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is on another shuttle diplomacy to the countries in the Security Council of the UN. We wish him all the luck. The last thing I would request leaders, please, when ambassadors and High Commissioners invite you, know that whatever you tell them is going to be reported to their home countries. I was shocked to know what Members of Parliament tell these ambassadors. When you disparage other hon. Members, know that this is going to be reported. I was shocked that an ambassador can say that Uhuru is a good man except that he drinks too much! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had many occasions to share evenings with Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta. I have been abroad with him---"}
