    "content": "we are able to do it ourselves, I do not see, again, why we should be able to go to those foreign courts to try our own citizens, especially where it is very clear that this court is a political tool. It is not a court by any standards. It is a political tool that is being manipulated to settle political scores and deal with political opponents and remove them from the scene, so that the so-called political environment can change. We already have a letter from an Ambassador saying that the names are being given publicly so that the political environment in Kenya can change. What other evidence do you need? It is very clear that this is not a court but an instrument to influence changes within Kenya to benefit particular people. Therefore, this cannot be allowed. If you look at Africa and other developing countries, you will see they have been fighting racism for very many years. Even colonization to civilize Africa and slavery were given a good name. The mzungus came here to colonize and it was given very good names. Therefore, even this process can be clothed in very good names. It is justice for post-election violence. We are doing this so that Kenya can be stable. However, clearly, this is a process of re-colonization with wazungus thinking that we cannot handle our own affairs and, therefore, they want to handle them for ourselves. They have a clear agenda of interfering with the internal affairs of Kenya and influencing Kenyan politics towards a certain direction. That is why this Sovereign House, this Parliament, where the sovereignty of the country resides, must do whatever we can to restore the sovereignty of this country. The stability of Kenya depends on our own institutions. We strengthen our institutions to give us stability. The stability of our country cannot depend on the trial of six people in a foreign country. If our stability depends on Mr. Ocampo, then we must be a very unfortunate country. I think our stability depends on reforms and putting together institutions that can stabilize this country in the long run and not one funny trial that is intended for political purposes. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
