"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support the report of the Committee, I do not seem to have much choice, but to support it. My colleague, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs has explained the reasons why we should support this Motion. We, as a Parliament, are in a situation where we tied ourselves to a law that seems to tie us down to accept the report as presented by the Committee and to move forward. As I support, I would like to express my disappointment with the performance of the commission todate. We have seen gross departure from the mandate of the commission as envisioned in this House when we set it up to investigate abuses against human rights. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that there are no human rights abuses to be investigated under the Kibaki Government. There are no more Nyayo House Torture Chambers and 3392 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 2, 2006 people being detained without trial. People no longer flee this country for fear of violation of their human rights."
