    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I want to really thank the Minister for being very elaborate. I was listening to that Statement clearly, thanks to the electronic transmission. Maybe one of the things that Kenyans are interested in knowing and which the Minister needs to clarify is that, there have been allegations and rumours flying from one side of the country to another as to the fact that prominent Kenyans are possible suspects of this indictment in the ICC. In fact, there have been allegations that even colleagues of the Minister in the Cabinet where he sits could be possible guests of the ICC when the process begins. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what assurance is the Minister giving to Kenyans that his office and the Government will not protect Ministers or senior people who might be mentioned or required to be charged at the ICC? What assurance is he giving to this country in terms of full cooperation in keeping with the agreement that he has tabled, that they will surrender their Cabinet colleagues if charged by the ICC? What assurance is he giving to this country that the Government will cooperate? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is based on the fact that this same Government did not cooperate when it came to executing warrants of arrest of the President of a neighbouring country, when we knew there were warrants in force. What assurance is the Minister giving us that they will execute warrants when it comes to executing them within this country when your own colleagues are mentioned?"
