    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the third reason why I would really like to support an extension of the term of the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) is so that we have a complete report. The state in which the particular report is in right now is not a comprehensive one. It is a report that is still work in progress. If it releases the work in progress to the nation, I really think it will be doing a great injustice. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fourth reason why I would like to support the extension of the term of that particular Commission is simply because I really think there are some people who are not interested in a complete report of TJRC. I think to disband the TJRC as it is right now could be playing to those particular lords of impunity – people who do not want Kenyans to know the truth and I really think they would have scored on that particular angle. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, I really think those four points would be my reasons to advocate for the term of the TJRC. I agree very well with my colleague, hon. Bonny Khalwale, that this might not be in very good spirit in terms of the Kenyan public. I think this is not in very good form with very many people but I really think there are moments when, as leaders, we must give leadership to the country. I really think that the TJRC’s term, if extended at this particular moment, will be appropriate. It will be the best way forward to go for Kenya, however, unpopular it will be with the masses."
