    "content": "I want to clarify that this small Bill is actually meant to amend the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act which was passed by the 10th Parliament. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) was created by that Act. The Commission has done its work and given its Report to the President. However, that Act does not allow the National Assembly to consider, debate and discuss the TJRC Report. The Bill that we are moving today allows the National Assembly to discuss and consider the TJRC Report. This is important for various reasons. The matters that are sought to be reviewed by the TJRC date very many years back. They are matters that have been discussed and disturbed this country for years. The National Assembly is where the people’s representatives are. By allowing the National Assembly to discuss and debate that Report, you allow the Assembly to look critically at matters of land, human rights violation, gender based violence and a lot of matters that are raised in the TJRC Report."
