    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. While I do so, I want to appreciate what hon. Karua said earlier. However, I want to remind her that when we were doing all this, we did not have a new Constitution in place. Now, we have a new Constitution. I think we should regain our dignity and sovereignty in this country. It is sad that a country like USA does not subscribe to this kind of treaty and yet, they are imposing it on us. It is unfair that this should happen. It is important that, we, as a country, stand on our own two feet and declare our sovereignty. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Ocampo is not playing justice. He is playing politics. How can he pick three people from ODM and three people from PNU? Surely, is that fairness? That is, indeed, politics. If you see what has been happening, he has been in the Press just showing himself off like Kenya is a small colony for that country. It is very unfortunate that we have subscribed to that kind of Treaty in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say, here and now, that we need to rescue our country. I know the events of the post-election violence were very unfortunate. We really must condemn all that. However, we have now come of age. Those who were fighting, the Prime Minister and President are eating together. We have reconciled. We need to embrace that reconciliation, so that we can move forward. So, we must open a new chapter in this country. We must condemn all those. We must put in place machineries, which would ensure that this kind of violence does not come again. However, if we allow Mr. Ocampo to do what he is doing, we are degrading ourselves a country. This is something we must not accept. We must condemn this at all costs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the way this gentleman called Ocampo got his evidence is questionable. Did he conduct any investigation? How could he have relied on human rights activists who are paid to do wrong things in this country? We should not accept that. We must have a new beginning. We must ensure that this does not happen again. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
