    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have come this far and we are discussing this Bills here, but the victims are not with us. We have laid on the Table documents on, perhaps, the way it is done, but the victims do not even know what it is that we are discussing here. The victims have a different perception of what is happening. They think that this is a situation where politicians have come together to collude and protect other politicians. Given the scenarios that we have seen this afternoon and the day before, nobody has any reason to doubt that, that could just be the game. We have some work to do. This is a healing process, and it is not Members of this Parliament who are healing, but this country. It is people out there, and especially in those areas where we had difficulties, are healing. Until we are able to carry them with us, whatever it is that we do here, however good it is, it will not help this country to heal. That is where we are. Even my own constituents in Ndaragwa have no faith in what we are doing. I have tried to explain to them that the International Criminal Court (ICC) process would not take less than two years to get to somebody. Finishing the investigations alone is not going to take anything less than two years. We could go through the term of the Tenth Parliament without seeing a prosecution. We would be facing the same people who voted for us in 2012 without having charged in court even those people whom we know are obviously supposed to have been charged by now, leave alone the process being in place."
