    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a humble request from the citizens of Kenya and members of the civil society and political parties who have appended 58 signatures petitioning that today's Order No.7(ii), the committee stage of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission Bill, 2008 be deferred because they have the following prayers:- (a) The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission Bill be thoroughly amended before its passage. (b) There be substantive amendments especially on amnesty, reparation and gender concerns. (c) There be more consultations with the civil societies, political parties and other stakeholders in public hearings before the Bill is passed. (d) That the amendments proposed by the petitioners and attached hereto be given due consideration. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to table this petition and mention that in here, we have two broad groups; the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Kenyan section of the International Commission of Jurists and the Kenya Women Caucus. Fifty eight signatures are appended and among them are the political parties in this country all of which are represented in this House and some which are not. I am guided on this particular request by Standing Order No.163 and Standing Order No.164. I have been in compliance with Standing Order No.165 which requires that the petition should be in manuscript and not printed. On that note, I request that if you so allow, in keeping with Standing Order No.165 we go ahead and get it printed. Thank you."
