    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. I am supporting it because from the outset, this Commission was faced with too many problems; the Chairman had no time to sit and perform his duties. When the Chairman was in problems, the Commission was not working. The truth of the matter is that Kenyans continued to spend their resources in maintaining and managing the same Commission. I also put into consideration the fact that many people have suffered in this country. Kenyans have lost lives. We had many extrajudicial killings which are yet to be exposed and the reason given why they took place. As I was driving into Parliament precincts at around 12.30 p.m., I found a group of IDPs demonstrating at the main gate. They were carrying placards with the message that “we, as Kenyans, we want haki yetu ”. That haki yetu can only be realized through this House. We cannot be so ignorant that whenever any group or team of Commissioners is given a chance to do some work and come up with some truth and reasons why certain things took place, we are out to challenge, stop everything and go back to square one. We must believe that it is Kenyans themselves who will deal with problems and issues that affect the country. If an opportunity has been given to Kenyans like this Commission was, I do agree and support the position that we must support the Commission and allow it to do its work. Personally, as a people’s representative, I want to see the truth. I also want to see the report that will be produced by this Commission and unless we give it time and a chance to complete its work, we will not get what we expect. With those very many remarks, I support the Motion."
