    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, but time is of essence to our nationhood. If we are going to wait for the next five to ten years to deal with the matters that have occurred in this country, can we hope then to have another election when we have unfinished business? What is being sought and proposed thereafter is not only to have a Special Tribunal with international standards and also having international and local personnel to deal with the crimes against humanity and international crimes, but also a special magistrates court to deal with crimes that do not amount to international crimes. It means that the person who murdered, looted or raped will be tried here in Kenya under international standards with the appeal system going to an international panel. It means that we shall be able to speedily bring a closure to the matters that occurred during the elections. This will ensure that we are able to move forward. As we build up a new electoral system and do a new voters register, let us clear the backlog of the criminal cases that occurred during the election so that we can have a deterrent to Fe bruary 5, 2009 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES"
