    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is another historic moment for the country. This is an implementation legislation for the Constitution. I want to salute this distinguished House for rising to the occasion and speaking with one voice. I would like to assure hon. Shakeel - because he is the only one who sounded like he had doubts and this is my opportunity to tell him - that never would I contemplate a non-constitutional legislation. Unknown to hon. Shakeel, this Bill would not have found its way here unless the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), through Mr. Charles Nyachae and the Attorney-General, Mr. Wako, had looked at it backwards, forwards and upside down and confirmed that it does not in any way violate the Constitution. Therefore, I would like to reassure him and all the others who have spoken on that, that we will put every effort during the Third Reading of the Bill and at the Committee Stage, to make adjustments to reflect the concerns they have expressed. For me, I cannot wait for an opportunity to see the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) continue with its work to address issues raised about the massacres in Wagalla, Garissa and many others. Many people have spoken about the late J.M. Kariuki, the late Dr. Robert Ouko and the late Tom Mboya, among others. This is a new dawn and their deaths, in the hands of yet unidentified people, like that of Robert"
