    "content": "It was during the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) debate in this House that I said that if we had implemented the Ndung’u Land Report, recommendations by Kriegler or the TJRC report, we would not have needed BBI. The issues about land that had become historical had been canvassed in the Ndung’u Land Report. The issues of historical injustices have been canvassed by TJRC. Issues about election injustices were in the Kriegler Report. We, as a generation, now have an opportunity through this NADCO report to make things right. I also take this opportunity to place it on the Floor of this House that the decision made by His Excellency the President must have taken a lot of magnanimity on his side. I am sure there are people on the side of the President who do not see the import of sitting down and negotiating with the Opposition. There must have been people who were breathing fire to the Leader of the Opposition, the very esteemed former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, telling him he should not sit down with opponents. Because of their wisdom, however, we now have a report before us. I cannot end this debate without adding my voice in support of the candidature of the former Prime Minister of this country; a well-fitting member of the African community. He fits the bill to be the Chairman of the African Union. I have to say that he has my undivided support as he goes for that bid. I know that Kenya shall be behind him as he makes this bid for a continental seat so that his career will end on an esteemed note."
