MPs have welcomed President Uhuru Kenyatta's decision to transfer power to his deputy William Ruto, saying his attendance at The Hague proceedings safeguard the rule of law while protecting the country's sovereignty.

Elgeyo/Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen praised the Head of State's decision to attend the status conference at the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a private citizen, saying he has killed two birds with one stone.
