• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: (iii) The position of the Government on the resolution of the 21st Ordinary Session of the African Union held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 26th May, 2013, which called for the referral of the Kenyan cases at the ICC back to Kenya. Implied in that resolution was a threat of mass withdrawal from the Rome Statute by some African states or governments. We know very clearly that membership to the Rome Statute is individual.

• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs.
