    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that, Mr. Wamalwa. The Resolution of the AU on the ICC is borne out of the strength and authority of the Constitutive Act which was not only ratified by the Government of the Republic of Kenya, but was adopted by this Parliament before ratification by the Government of the Republic of Kenya and, under which, we are obligated to obey the decisions of the organs of the AU. In terms of the domestication of the Rome Statute, we domesticated it as part of our laws and we must, like I said in my Statement, look at the wider context of issues. The AU has given us direction; it has not told us to walk out of the ICC or to disregard the Statute of Rome. It has isolated one case and if you read the Act properly, you will see that the final Act on any ICC processes lies with the Security Council of the UN, not even with member States. That is the why the AU dutifully went to the Security Council."
