• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is so important. Therefore, I beg the hon. Senators to bear with me. That is besides the memorandum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other reason which I beg that you find that you cannot permit this Motion is that this Motion, in my view, according to the Constitution, should have been preceded by a report from the President to Parliament showing what he has done to ensure that Kenya meets its international obligations as far as the ICC is concerned. It is only after he has tabled this kind of report, after the two houses have debated ... view

• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we know we are members of the ICC. I know the Chair is busy, but if he had time, he would have found out that as we walked in, this matter is currently and actively going on at the ICC.

I beg that you find that we cannot proceed with this Motion. Thank you. view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of some people benefitting has now come from two contributors; the Mover and the Seconder. In view of the history of this matter, since you know that the National Accord created these positions which were given on either side, the country was stabilized, it is important that the Chair pronounces from there that those people did not benefit but stabilized the country, otherwise we are sending the wrong message and inflaming emotions. view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, at this stage we are in a political and legal quagmire as a country. Listening to the lawyers, whom I would like to lead me in this kind of debate, I am amazed at how they are reading the Rome Statute. The Rome Statute, and Mr. Speaker, you know, does not take you there for trial unless you do not fulfill two conditions. The first one is that either you are unwilling to sort yourself out in your country or you are unable. That is the Rome Statute. This means that with all the ... view
