    "content": "legislations and constitutional provisions, just to facilitate the ICC in some of the demands that they make. Therefore as a country that is governed by the rule of law, the ICC needs to study our Constitution and follow the existing legal and constitutional mechanisms, to obtain whatever information that will help them facilitate and expedite the cases before them. This will ensure that the three Kenyans are cleared of the cases only handled in whatever nature they want. We need speedy delivery of justice. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the process of reconciling Kenyans in this country began immediately after the post-election violence. Some of us have participated in numerous peace building activities within our region. The Rift Valley is one of the regions that were affected heavily by the post-election violence. It is a shame that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) which was an internal and local mechanism that was expected to help us to undertake the reconciliation processes, turned into a circus that we all know. It is unfortunate that up to now, the TJRC report has not been tabled before this House. It is important that our country looks at that report. We know that there were a lot of misgivings in the way that the TJRC handled its processes, but we need to expedite the process of tabling the TJRC report within this House, for us to be able to interrogate it and look at some of those recommendations that they made with regard to reconciling Kenyans and having a proper closure to the post- election violence episode in this country. Therefore, I urge this House, especially the leadership, led by the Senate Majority Leader to expedite the process of bringing the TJRC Report so that we can look at the recommendations, discuss and agree on a marshal plan for reconciling this country. I beg to support."
