"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to salute Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for bringing this important Motion. The Holy Book tells us that the beginning of healing is the acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Until and unless we acknowledge that we were wrong, we cannot heal. That is why a country like South Africa set up a truly Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). We attempted here, but we all know how we ended up. Everybody wanted to doctor the report to remove their name and we ended up with a TJRC Report that was not a report. This is because everybody wanted not to be there even when they ought to be there. This country has come a long way and I want to single out that man there, the Senator for Meru, Sen. Murungi. When The National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) came to power, he did an act of courage. He was the first Minister of Government in the history of this country to acknowledge that people had been wronged and that these wrongs needed to be addressed. Sen. Murungi, we salute you. You did not complete the job, but you started it. I recall very well a man called Mwandawiro Mghanga. We were with him in the other Parliament.

When a lady called Njeri Kabeberi instructed me to save The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
