President Uhuru Kenyatta has formally asked MPs to approve laws to pull Kenya out of the Rome Statute.

The details of the formal request came to the fore on a day that National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale scoffed at threats from the International Criminal Court (ICC) that Kenya risked penalties from the Assembly of State Parties if it failed to hand over the three Kenyans wanted for witness tampering.
