    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill that has been moved by Mr. Affey. This law ought to have been amended many years ago. I am saying this because we have one country and we should not have laws for one region. We do not want laws pertaining to Eastern, North Eastern and Nyanza provinces. We need laws that will govern the entire country. If you look at the Indemnity Act, there is a section that states that no proceeding or claim to compensation or indemnity shall be instituted or made or entertained by any court or authority or tribunal established by any law. This shows that this Act was aimed at discriminating against particular people who lived in a particular region of this country. We have to repeal this law so that we can ensure that Kenyans who live in North Eastern Province and the towns that have been mentioned such as Isiolo, Marsabit, Tana River and Lamu, get justice. Unless we repeal this Act, we will never know what happened exactly. We would like to have an opportunity so that Kenyans who live in those areas can tell us what happened. This is because injustice or crimes were committed against these people. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Parliament should rise up and change this law so that all Kenyans, regardless of where they live or who they are, can feel that they belong to one country which has one law which will address this injustice."
