• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I will explain that! Hon. Speaker, Sir, there are six countries that never ratified the Rome Statute - the USA, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and Russia – out of 130 countries of the world who have ratified and signed this Rome Statute. All these six countries have a unique history for not signing the Rome Statute. The first one is that the USA is the only superpower in the world. It runs a lot of military activities all over the world and they have a good judicial system where they try their people who commit crimes. If you look at ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, since I respect the Member, I will ignore answering him. I just want us to be sober when we are dealing with this issue because we will be seen in bad light in the international community. I thought about this very seriously and one thing is that the cases that are ongoing will not be affected by the decision that the National Assembly takes today. So, if this is the case, these cases are just about to start, what impression or message are we sending to the ICC court at this point when our cases are about ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: is, let us not try, even at this time to contemplate moving away from the Rome Statute because it will not be good for Kenya. We signed and agreed! This ICC court’s main objective is to fight impunity and to fight for the rights of all people irrespective of their status. The other thing is that all of us signed without being pushed into it. I have said again and again that the timing of this Motion is bad and it will be seen like we are withdrawing because we are annoyed because they are trying our leaders. So that ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: junior partners to them. They should consult us, so that this country does not go down the drain. It can very easily tip over and go the Syrian or Egyptian way. We do not want such a thing to happen. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am telling you the truth. It is very easy for this country to tip over because of careless pronouncements and actions like moving a Motion like the one before us. view

• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: In Marsabit and Moyale, there are serious insecurity problems. There are many other areas facing similar problems, including the border area of Kisii and Trans Mara. In Tana River, there is a similar problem. In Sotik and other areas, the situation is the same. That is an issue which affects this country generally. It is more serious than the issue that has brought us here today. There is the issue of the cost of living. I spoke to a driver this morning, who said to me: “ Mheshimiwa, I will be cooking ugali in the morning, using maize flour from ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you know that I respect you very much. I want hon. Members to understand that Kenyans have reached a point where they can hardly survive. They cannot afford to educate or feed their families. They cannot afford to do anything for themselves. They cannot even afford transport. They walk to look for jobs. There is so much poverty in the country. So, that is a matter which should have brought us together. We should have reconvened here to talk about the cost of living and the suffering that Kenyans are going through. Implementation of the VAT Act should ... view
