4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
There is a lot of obsession about the Hague, but what we must appreciate is the fact that in the crisis that we had in January, 2008, there were thousands and thousands of people involved. More

4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
Mrs. Shabesh has alluded to the fact that when it comes to looking at the Bill that will create the Special Tribunal, we can move amendments in that Bill to make sure that certain cadres of the perpetrators go to the Hague, while the small persons, who cut-off the head of another person, or torched the house of his neighbour are tried in special courts locally. We can only do that if we actually pass this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. We will not be able to set up special magistrates' courts unless this Bill goes through.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the fight against corruption, the system has got to be decisive and make the cost of corruption high. The Minister has categorically said that there was a fraud. Suspending the officers involved in the fraud is not being decisive, because those officers will be in a position to influence the investigations. Why have those officers not been arrested, so that investigations can go on without any interference?
