    "content": "Ouko, will not be in vain. I have seen a section of the media today address one of our most staunch supporters of the Bill of Rights, Mr. Kenneth Matiba. I would like to reassure his supporters and those who think that the Government may be neglecting such staunch Kenyans, that the time to look after them has come. You may have seen a statue for the late Tom Mboya in Tom Mboya Street. The momentum of the new Constitution demands that we respect those people. Recently, the honourable Chief Justice hosted the retired Chief Justice. He took that opportunity to remind us, as we know, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you were with him fighting for these rights that we are advancing today. We are probably the only country in the world today where the serving Chief Justice is a former detainee on detention without trial. So, therefore, the momentum for the country is here now. I want to ask the supporters of some of these families to make recommendations to my office because soon, after 26th August, once the process of implementation is completed, my Ministry will engage in reviewing old laws and practices that have created the opportunity for the issues that have been raised, including ID cards, tribalism and famine, among others. Hon. Baiya has talked about oppression and funding. These are very serious matters that we have to look into. Therefore, allow me to thank this House for this wonderful, yet again, yardstick that has occurred in the country. I would like to thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because I have noticed that you have a tendency of Chairing this House whenever we are doing historical work. Congratulations. History will judge you correctly for the efforts that you continue to make in this regard. With those far too many remarks, I beg to move."
