    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. I had requested for a Ministerial Statement but the Minister has taken over and given the Ministerial Statement. The Minister and the organizing committee of the promulgation of the new Constitution were aware of the indictment of Omar Al Bashir, which is internationally known. Out of the 10 charges against Al Bashir, three of them are on genocide; five on crimes against humanity and two murders amongst the 300,000 people who have died in Darfur. Such people, in this country, do not belong to the streets but in jail. How can we stand as a country and say that, that man is innocent? We are defending a person who is a criminal. We have caused disrepute to the ICC which was given recognition by this House! The International Crimes Act was enacted in this House. The Attorney-General deposited instruments of ratification in 2005 and yet, our Government can say no to the arrest of Al Bashir. How did he come when we know he is a criminal?"
