    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the outset, I want to applaud my brother, Amb. Mohamed Affey, for having the foresight of bringing this Bill to the House to do away with the Indemnity Act, which has been in existence for several years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate, and this law should have been repealed yesterday or in the yesteryears but not today. While hon. Members have the right to complain about atrocities, which are acts committed by the security forces, I would rather put the blame on the leaders of those days, because they were the ones who created this unfortunate law which gave rise to whatever happened. History will judge. Most of the Members of Parliament who passed this law in those days, are the ones who have been running around in the City of Nairobi, calling for change; they have forgotten that change should have started with them at that time when they were passing this law aimed at a certain region in this country and particular people."
