    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the Motion because it is very difficult to oppose. Opposing this Motion will mean that the amounts of money that the Commission has used so far will have been wasted. That is because we will not have the report that we expect. However, as I support, we know the challenges that the Commission faced initially. We know the challenges that the Chairman of the Commission faced because of the other Commissioners and other people. I heard my friend Bonny Khalwale saying that the public was against him. But to the best of my knowledge, there was no public referendum to determine whether the Chairman was not accepted by the public. We are the ones who vetted the Chairman and other Commissioners. So, I think we support, but we want the Commissioners to go an extra mile so that we can get a very credible report. I hope by this extension we will get a report that will not divide us more but will give us a very good way forward by which Kenyans will reconcile, know the truth and move forward. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the Minister seeks the extension, he must also give this Commission the necessary resources at the right time if resources are an issue, so that the Commission can finalize its work in the three months, and we get a report in the shortest time possible. We hope the truth of the many issues that have been raised by many of my colleagues, including the issues of the land in the Rift Valley, Mombasa and other areas will come out. I do not want to say much. I support and urge the Minister to give the Commission the resources it requires effective from tomorrow, assuming the Motion will be approved. Thank you."
