    "content": "I lost 100 people in my former constituency. In Kisumu, Naivasha, Mombasa and other places many lives were lost. A local process would allow us to visit those same sites and talk to the local people and get to know what really happened. We want to know who burnt that entire family of 16 people in Naivasha. We would like to know from eyewitnesses, who burnt Kenyans in that church in Eldoret. That can only be got from the herdsmen or the local people who actually saw it. The people who bear a very big responsibility are also still here with us. As time goes by, we are losing credible evidence of people who should have been prosecuted and now be behind bars. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while we sit pretty here, we should know that there are children who were orphaned during the post election violence. We still have displaced persons who are not being catered for. We still have people who are still moaning. We have Kenyans who are so wounded who need to see us come up with some compensation. I always ask myself: Even as we make a lot of fuss about The Hague process, what stops us from having a local process going on at the same time unless we are not interested in getting to the bottom of this thing? We are not interested in healing and knowing which Kenyan killed who for us to confess and ask for forgiveness and move on as one nation. I want to state that I am one wounded Kenyan who is still looking for answers to know who killed 100 of my chief supporters. This hypocrisy must stop. Everybody knows that Kasarani Constituency was on fire. For all these years, nobody has asked me to make a simple statement or to tell them what I saw or what I know. This is because they know I will speak the truth. That is why they keep on going round and round in circles creating big drama about everything and not asking the right people to state the right things because they are not interested in bringing to book those who were behind this. With those remarks, I support."
