"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I am not the spokesman of the Prime Minister. Secondly, I do not want to pass any valid judgement on the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister and whatever he said. In fact, I do not know what he said. What I informed the House is that there was a committee which was alternately chaired by Amb. Muthaura and Dr. Mohamed Isahakiah â Permanent Secretaries (PSs) in the Offices of the President and the Prime Minister, respectively. They all shared in the process of inviting the dignitaries and in the success that we phenomenally witnessed at Uhuru Park. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to, in fact, on behalf of this House, to congratulate the two gentlemen for a job well done. The Member of Parliament for Lari asked about the technical support we have for Southern Sudan. We have a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on education and technical support in terms of building capacity for administration. In fact, outside the East African federation, Southern Sudan today is the only country where Kiswahili is a compulsory teaching language in all their primary schools. We have Kenyan teachers who are teaching there. So, those are some of the benefits flowing out of it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on hon. Nyamweyaâs question, I would like to respond that it is common knowledge that a powerful country has repeatedly asked many countries, Kenya included, to sign an exception to Article 98 of the Rome Statute, so that any of their nationals arrested or indicted for whatever reason cannot be arrested. I am sure that you know what I mean."
