Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to thank my 296 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 19, 2008 constituents for sponsoring me to this House, so that I can serve them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at this stage I wish to appreciate and echo the President's remark that we were heading the wrong direction. I believe that the change that everybody is talking about in this House, and elsewhere, is about change in direction, so that we face the right direction. The two Bills, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill and the National Accord and Reconciliation Bill, are indeed, the first steps towards the positive direction. I am also happy and impressed that a team that will look into the issue of truth and reconciliation is in the pipeline. However, I want to remind hon. Members of this House that reconciliation is a process of striking a balance between wrongs and rights. I also believe that it is a process that many people are calling the \"healing process\". However, in this process, there is something very critical that must be addressed and said. That is the truth. I believe that, justice which is entrenched in our National Anthem, is a product of some sort. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say this in Kiswahili: Ukweli ni mchungu sana"
