    "content": "believe the intention of the Committee Members who sat and actually made the proposal for this amendment intended to mutilate the report. Our intention was to allow Kenyans through Members of Parliament to ventilate this report and not to actually remove other people’s names. I want to urge all Members to allow this report to come to this House and to support this particular amendment so that we can at least know and understand the matters which were actually investigated and looked into. This report is meant to heal this country and bring the truth. It actually gives us an insight of what has been happening. We come from so many backgrounds which, of course, explain many things and some remain unexplained. For those of us who come from areas where we have been having recurrent clashes, we need to know exactly what brings them about. We come from areas where people do not understand why they are living there. We need to know why in some other areas, there are land issues which some other people do not know about. If we allow this report to be debated here, looked at and ventilated, we will be able to know who did what, in which capacity and what can be done to those particular people. I wish to request this House to just agree with us, that we do not intend to mutilate the report. There is a section and actually a part in that amendment which guards that particular report against any mutilation. Hon. Members, we must agree that we shall be together when debating the report, when it is agreeable. Therefore, I just want to beg my friends who have been trying to stop that report from coming to this House. I want to urge this House to agree so that we look at the report, debate and ventilate on it as well as monitor its implementation. What is very important in this particular report is not just to look at it, or hear that some people have been adversely mentioned. The very important thing in this report is the implementation part. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this House has been very crucial in matters of implementation and that is why we want to be included and this House is allowed to participate in that process. Otherwise, we will be looking at this reports gathering dust in the shelves. Therefore, the intention of the Committee, the House and the supporters of the amendment Bill are to agree that we ventilate the report. Otherwise, with those few remarks, I beg to move."
