"content": "Now, the contention is on number 20 which says that: “The National Government should compensate victims for loss of lives, properties and livelihoods as a result of this conflict”. What do you mean by eight? Well, let me say this: If the House resolves that that the national government should compensate victims, the process of seeking for that compensation, as we all know, is one that involves dispute resolution through the Judiciary. Therefore, this is a matter that is neither here nor there. There is no harm in the House resolving that a commission of inquiry be established. This has happened in the past without any hindrance. It will not be the first time. Rather than provoke the kind of intense anxiety that I have just witnessed a few moments ago, I will leave this matter to the decision of the House. The House will proceed and deal with the matter as it best understands. Since I have no vote, I am perfectly protected by Article 122 of the Constitution. It is you to make a decision. Try to persuade one another about these amendments. In any event, since that matter is not the one coming up immediately for consideration, I will leave it to the House to deal with it when that order is reached. So let us proceed. Hon. Kamket, the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation."
