"content": "very seized of its mandate. It is called the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee. That is how seriously the Senate regards its human rights mandate. I want to accolade Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for bringing this Motion to our fore. That Committee is chaired by none other than the former Attorney-General, Sen. Wako. I believe he will help us to unpackage some of those excesses he talked about. He talked about excesses that he tried to unbundle or to unpackage when he was the Attorney- General for 21 years. I think he is an asset in giving us the moral radar to find some of the perpetrators. Surely, as I said earlier, monetary value does not take away the pain. However, it gives people an acknowledgment that, first and foremost, transgressions were committed against them. Secondly, there is the issue that hon. Khalwale talked about; that the state must have the courage to apologise to people it has violated in writing. Many countries do so. These are countries in the West and other democracies. We need to acknowledge the mistakes that we have made and unequivocally apologise. Nonetheless we must punish the transgressors so that this country moves forward. I beg to support."
