    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. So that the Leader of Government Business does not misunderstand us, we are raising these issues in good faith. When you look at the list of the six names, most of them are politicians who can defend themselves and who are connected to the two Principals. However, we also have unconnected Kenyans like a policeman, who honestly, must have acted under instructions. Therefore, when the Prime Minister makes his Statement here, we shall know whether their interest is to cover the backs of politicians or they want to address the challenge that our country is faced with. Before this matter reached where it is today, the first word to Kenyans that there were a number of people to appear before the ICC, was early in the day when Justice Waki created the so-called “Waki Envelope”. We will, therefore, be asking the Prime Minister to tell us whether these six names are the same ones that Waki placed in his envelope. If the contrary is the case, then it will mean that instead of criminal responsibility being sought, it is now political responsibility which is being sought. As the representatives of the people of Kenya, we deserve to interrogate the Government and we want the Prime Minister to come, with all due respect to the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs. The Accord is very clear that co-ordinating Government functions, including those of Ministries, is not the business of the Leader of Government Business. It is the business of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. We want him here."
