• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: now might save the whole of Africa and the world. We might end up having a more reformed international criminal court. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: What the Chinese, Indian and Russian foreign ministers said is in the website. When the Americans withdrew from the Rome Statute, they went further and formed the American Service Members’ Protection Act. Look at what is happening; on 17th July, 1998 those who clamoured for the formation of the court were mainly from the civil society. They were international NGOs led by Oxfam and UNICEF. Today, the Kenyan cases are interfered with by international and local civil societies. Why do I say so? This case was created to block particular leaders from ascending to power in the 2013 General Election. ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: What we have is a war between civil society, which is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, and a country called Kenya, which is a signatory. The Kenya Attorney General has no voice at the ICC. The foreign Affairs Minister has no voice at the ICC though he is signatory to the Rome Statute, but a civil society funded by the ICC has their way in deciding whether the case should come to this. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the African Heads of State and Government in their 21st General Assembly at Addis Ababa – 50 countries with diverse cultural and political ideology- agreed in principle that the ICC framework is faulty, and the ICC jurisdiction is faulty. They said that the Kenyan case is a classical example. In the morning we woke up, and read the newspapers. We read about an innocent Kenyan in the Netherlands who is crying because he is being forced to testify falsely that he was at the Deputy President’s residence when he was not. Kenyan cases have local project owners. ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am not aspiring to become a diplomat. I do not want to go to the UN. I am performing my duty. The work of a diplomat is cut out and the work for Members of Parliament is cut out. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, at the height of the post-election violence, the Waki Commission was formed. Section 7 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act says that the report of any commission must be handed over to the president of the country. In 2008, Justice Waki, a man I have a lot of respect for, a judge with credentials, decided to bypass President Mwai Kibaki, and my good old mentor, the then Right Hon. Prime Minister, a man I respect a lot. That report was based on Kenyan facts. A petition must be brought to The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: this House at a later date to compel President Uhuru Kenyatta to receive that report plus the envelope. We must get the envelope. The envelope had 12 or 20 names. Justice Waki used taxpayers’ money. The Kenyan people must get value for their money. That Commission’s outcome went to one Kofi Annan. The envelope went to a man who has no constitutional jurisdiction. He took the envelope, looked at it and balanced it. He removed his friends’ names and of all those he wanted to be leaders. He said--- view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to remind my very good friend, the former Deputy Minister that today, before this House, is the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report. So, there is no crime in the history of Kenya that this House cannot be seized of--- I want to assure this House that the petition compelling President Uhuru Kenyatta to do that will come to this House because Kenyans want to know the value of their money. We must know what was contained in the famous envelope. Kofi Annan had no constitutional jurisdiction! In my opinion, what Kofi Annan did, in ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I can speak more, but finally, I want to say to the nation that the founders of the International Criminal Court (ICC) --- I looked at the budget of the ICC in 2010 and 2011 and it had 97 million Euros. Only three European countries financed 75 per cent of that budget and that is; United Kingdom, Germany and France. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, look at the cases that have been determined since the Rome Statute was established. Look at the cases which have come before it, all of them are African cases. view
