    "content": "that this House established recently. It is a very important part of this law. It is timely and I would urge Members to look at it very carefully. As the Attorney-General has said, these are provisions that will be amended at the Committee stage. I would rather we discuss them on principle and understand the focus and interest the county is having in eliminating backlog of cases. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will also notice that the Bill also addresses the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act (2008). Again, this is a very important tool. I noticed that the House is very conscious of the delays and amount of time that has been taken in resolving the issues that brought the country to its knees last year. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act was brought on the Floor of this House and was passed for purposes of ensuring that, once and for all, the country has a mechanism for hearing these things. Therefore, one of the purposes of bringing it is, above all, to streamline the provisions of the Act to provide for appointment and removal of citizens and non-citizen members. Above all, it is to make sure that the Commission will not recommend amnesty in respect of genocide and crimes against humanity. That has been put in the Bill. The Bill refers to that issue very well. It is an important aspect. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution of Kenya Review Act has been factored at page 232 of the Bill. For the first time, it defines the core-functions. Under Section 2 it says: - \"Core function means the activities of the Committee of Experts from the date of appointment to the last day of civic education under Section 35\"."
