Kenyan Members of Parliament have been summoned for a crisis meeting on Thursday afternoon to debate the Country's intended withdraw of her membership from the International Criminal Court (ICC) which they say has violated the provisions as were drawn at the Rome Statute.
In a statement issued by The Leader of Majority in Parliament Aden Duale, all MPs are called upon to be present at the meet as the East African Country debates her "Destiny" in relation to the court's summons and arrest warrants against her leaders including the President and his vice.
Aden Duale said the move is good for Kenya and will help her "deal with her own conflicts without Foreign Intervention".

In a statement issued by The Leader of Majority in Parliament Aden Duale, all MPs are called upon to be present at the meet as the East African Country debates her "Destiny" in relation to the court's summons and arrest warrants against her leaders including the President and his vice.
Aden Duale said the move is good for Kenya and will help her "deal with her own conflicts without Foreign Intervention".
"We want Kenyans to be part of the millions of people who are not party to the court. About 80 per cent of the world’s population does not subscribe to the court. India, China, the United States are yet to ratify the statute,” Mr Duale said when he appeared on a morning talk show on a local TV Station.
He said the court was prone to manipulation. Although he was hard-pressed to explain the reasons behind the recent urgency to cut links with the ICC, Mr Duale said Jubilee would push on with its agenda.
“The reasons given by these countries were that the court was not free from political manipulation therefore also not free to make independent decisions,” the Garissa Town MP said.
