    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can say a lot on historical injustices. A lot of issues took place. Immediately after Independence so many deaths took place. The Government promised to conclude investigations and take action against people who were responsible. However, this has not been possible. We can remember the death of Pio Gama Pinto, J.M. Kariuki and Tom Mboya. In the second regime, we can remember the death of Robert Ouko and others. Even the present regime has also witnessed its share of what one would call political deaths. The late Odhiambo Mbai and others. We have had the most recent case of post-election violence where so many people lost their lives. The issue is still outstanding. Many witnesses have not able to give evidence because of lack of witness protection mechanism. But with the passing of this Bill in 2006, I think the understanding of the nation then was that some action will now be taken to protect the witnesses. Unfortunately, as hon. Mungatana articulately put it, it has not been possible to implement and operationalise this particular piece of legislation."
