    "content": "will never be the same again but the country survived and moved on because of the efforts that they put in. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, It is for those reasons that Parliament must look at the Report of the TJRC and debate it, even without changing its substance. We can simply look at it and make recommendations on it. We also survived the turmoil of the civil strife that defined our nationhood following the 2007 general elections. We know what happened. There are people who have never recovered. Some people lost their relatives. We created orphans. People lost land and other property. People were displaced. Subsequently, we also saw a dysfunctional coalition between former President Kibaki and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, but the country survived. The tales of misery of those who lost their lives in 2007/2008 are written down in the graves and on the walls of IDP camps. Those are issues that this House must look at and make appropriate recommendations on. On the new dawn of Uhuru Kenyatta’s presidency and the attendant local and international challenges that this country is facing, let us agree to support these amendments, so that the Report can come to the House for us to look at. Let us look at the recommendations contained in the Report and hold our country together. Let us debate the Report with open minds and say: “Never again shall our country go down the same path.” Let us heal and bring our communities together. With those remarks, I beg to support."
