    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is an issue to which the Standing Orders Committee will have to apply itself more, because if you are asked several questions by different individuals and the language is mixed, is it in order, since you are the same person who is answering, to insist on answering in the same language? This question was asked in Kiswahili. So, I am just saying that, that is a matter which can be dealt with by the Standing Orders Committee. As you have said so, I can go on and answer in English. First, hon. Kutuny is right in certain aspects. He says that there was a meeting amongst the President, the Prime Minister and Mr. Moreno Ocampo. They were the only three in the room where the meeting took place. There was not another person. Unless walls speak, how does he know what the three people were discussing? So, that is what I call “gossip” or cheap rumours; the relationship between the ICC and the Government of Kenya is contained in an agreement which was signed between the Government and the ICC on the court’s operations in Kenya. The agreement was signed on behalf of this Government by none other than the Minister for Foreign Affairs, hon. Moses Wetangula, and the Registrar of the ICC. Those are the ones who signed that agreement. So, Mr. Moreno Ocampo could not have asked the President, or the Prime Minister, to co-operate by signing the agreement. The agreement was already signed. So, that could not have been a basis of our discussions. We were discussing much higher issues than those mundane issues."
