    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Minister to clarify whether a resolution of a sitting of the AU can be equated to the laws of the land. If it can, how binding can it be compared to what our laws say? The Rome Statute was domesticated by this House. So, we want to know, as we move into the new era, whether we want to continue living in the past. Secondly, the Minister has said that there was a committee of Government, and he has thanked the two PSs he has referred to. However, I want him to clarify who signed the letter which invited Hon. Al Bashir. I also want the Minister to clarify whether the Government of Kenya, or a representative of a section of the Government of Kenya, had some input in the drafting of the CommuniquĂŠ of the AU that he has read before this House. Lastly, because Al-Bashir has come and gone as Mr. Musila said, it is now water under the bridge. The way some of us are interpreting this is that, the wider implication of the visit - which is the impunity of Al-Bashir - is meant to have a wider implication on the post-election violence which took place in this country in 2008. I want the Minster to assure me that the people who ordered the killing of my people in Nakuru, Eldoret, Kericho and Nairobi shall not go scot-free, if and when they are indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC)."
