    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Commission started with a lot of problems. Hon. Members are aware that there were issues with the chairing of the Commission and a lot of time was wasted in the process. Therefore, this is probably one of the reasons why this Commission has been unable to finish its work on time. Having said that, the Commission has strived to try and recover the lost time and they have, as we already know, through the progress report that they submitted, collected a lot of information in order to complete their report. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is no doubt that the Kenyans are eagerly waiting for this report. It would be a waste of huge public resources if this Commission was not given a chance to complete its work and submit its report. The Bill seeks to extend the period of submission of the report for a further period of nine months with effect from 4th August, this year. This means already two months are already gone and we are asking that from now on another seven months and then the report will be ready. I think this is a reasonable request. I want to appeal to my colleagues to extend this period one last time. By doing so, we will be meeting the expectations of Kenyans by giving them the report that they are so eagerly waiting; meeting the expectations of victims who want justice to be done. Therefore, I beg to support and request hon. Members to do the right thing and that is to pass the Bill and extend the term of this Commission. I beg to second."
