    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would have wished to speak on this subject a little more carefully but unfortunately, I am at the mercy of a donation of the Minister. I might even have been persuaded to support the request for extension of nine months but I am a Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and I think we might be getting ourselves into a lot of trouble. The Commission has already embarked on report writing. They told us themselves. They said that they needed a month or two to conclude their report. Indeed, I am going to tell my colleagues that we should only extend for purposes of concluding report writing. Nine months is completely unnecessary. I just wanted to go on record that the reason of election should not be used not to have this report published and it is the worst possible reason that any country can offer itself. If we were seeking truth, justice and, therefore, reconciliation to say that we are afraid of releasing a report on truth and justice because we are facing an election, it means we really do not want the truth. Until we have the truth, we cannot go to an election where we know how it is. If we committed these atrocities, we should not hide by pushing forward the release of the report so that I can get elected then the truth comes out when I am in power so that I can suppress it. Therefore, I would not go for an extension because of an impending election. It is purely for purposes of having that report concluded. I would wish that we propose that we only give them two months to conclude the report and amend it so that even if they do not conclude the report, it can be released in whichever form it is so that they cannot use the inability to conclude to hold the country hostage. I support to that limited extent."
