    "content": "Through this tribunal that we are going to establish, we will bring the people who committed the most recent crimes against Kenya forward. We will bring forward all those who have acted with impunity against Kenyans. Today, Kenyans do not believe that we are serious with this Bill. They do not believe that we will come up with a tribunal that will help solve their problems. Why? It is because of the way issues have been handled in this country. When Tom Mboya was murdered, there was a suspect who was taken to court, but today, no Kenyan believes that, that person was hanged. He was supposed to be hanged. There was the issue of J.M. Kariuki. Was anybody brought to book as his murderer? There was the issue of Dr. Robert Ouko. We believe that so many witnesses died mysterious deaths. All these things make Kenyans not to trust even the Parliament of Kenya. We have had commissions of inquiry and Parliamentary Select Committees investigating and inquiring into issues. When reports from Parliamentary Committees come to the Floor of this House, they are thrown away by Parliament itself. How do we expect Kenyans to trust their own leaders? That is why there is apprehension amongst Kenyans when it comes to this matter. There is no reason why Kenyans should be taken to another country to be tried for crimes committed here in Kenya. That is my believe."
