    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for protecting me and the rights of Kenyans; thousands of them who died. Some of us lost relatives and so, we can feel the pain. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Rome Statute and the International Crimes Act do not provide immunity for anybody. I would want to go on record as having said that every Kenyan’s life should be equal to that of every other Kenyan. If one Kenyan commits a crime it does not matter their position in society. They should be able to face justice just as well as the man on the streets. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). We are supposed to be reconciling and yet, all we are hearing in Rift Valley are war cries. Is this how we are going to reconcile? The only way to reconcile this country, call for compensation for the victims and guarantee peaceful 2012 elections is for us – men of courage and conviction – to pass this Bill and be on the right side of history when we are judged by it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Bill."
