Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Even as we debate this Motion, I am just wondering what people like hon. Opiyo Wandayi and other hon. Members who boycotted this session after being called to boycott it by the likes of Wetangula and the “Bull Fighter,” have to say about the President’s Address.

It is important to say that one of the issues I have heard my colleagues have a problem with is what they have been calling the drama and its video-taping at the handover. It is important to know that there was absolutely nothing wrong with dramatizing the handover of power from the President to the Acting President, who was left in charge of the country. There were those who could not stand that and had to take off.

Hon. Speaker, it is also important to know that as much as the President had every right to dramatize and issue the legal notice that he issued to appoint the Deputy President as Acting President, he also wanted to show the confidence that he had in the able Deputy President. I think it goes without saying that this is a President and a Deputy President whose chemistry is very strong and they will do wonders in this country.

It is also important that when the President spoke in the opening remarks of his Address, he addressed the issue of the IDPs. I want to appeal to the Government--- There are still thousands of IDPs who are called integrated IDPs who are yet to be compensated. It is important, as the President said, that the Government makes sure that integrated IDPs are thoroughly investigated to know who are the genuine IDPs, so that the genuine ones are compensated by the Government.

Hon. Speaker, it is also important to note - I heard hon. John Mbadi speak about it - that it is hon. Mwai Kibaki, the former President, and hon. Raila Odinga who was then the supervisor of Government, who should have investigated and made sure that the real culprits of the post-election violence in 2008--- Indeed, these were the two protagonists in the 2007 elections. It was incumbent upon the two gentlemen then to make sure that IDPs were resettled, and those who ought to have been compensated were compensated. It is sad that those two gentlemen never did that ...

I want to thank hon. William Ruto and Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, our good President, for having taken that bold step to make sure that IDPs were compensated and those who ought to have been resettled were resettled. It is important to remind Kenyans--- History will judge us harshly if we forget that the thousands of demonstrators on the streets of Nairobi and other urban centers were calling for peace only for the installation of one Raila Odinga in power. Therefore, even as we ask investigators and Government to investigate, they should come out clean and tell us what it is ...

Hon. Speaker, we have also spoken about the ICC and it is important because I am one of those hon. Members--- I treat with a lot of distaste what hon. Wandayi has said, that there were goons and cartoons outside the ICC court because there were hon. Members who accompanied the President. If you listened carefully to what was going on in that court and what was said by the Attorney-General a day earlier, it is clear that the ICC, or the Office of the Prosecutor, has absolutely no evidence either against the President or the Deputy President. It has ...

In conclusion because my time is over, it is important for us to remind ourselves in this House that we passed a Motion to remove this country from that ICC process, and we need to follow up on that Motion and remove this country and other African states from the ICC Statute, because this is a neo-colonial tool.
