"content": "the indigenous people; the Mijikenda living along the Coast. This case cannot be sustained in this time and era Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, secondly, after the apology, what we need to do is to seek a serious attempt, at least, of tabling all the commissions of inquiry and their findings that have been carried over the years by all the regimes. Everything negative that happened, a commission was set up, and there is a report which was never tabled. We want to see these reports tabled and their findings executed. That is true healing. Thirdly, economic crimes that have been meted against Kenyans can only be corrected when the looted funds are brought back to the country, and we know where the funds are. At least, I have read from time to time that people have been accused of keeping money in foreign accounts and so on. Now that we have at least publicly accepted that these wrongs have been meted, then why can we not follow it up by bringing back the said funds, so that we can give Kenyans that opportunity to heal? I agree with the Senate Majority Leader. In his contribution he stated:- “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Now that we have accepted and even with specific reference to past assassinations of great leaders like Ronald Ngala, J.M. Kariuki, Tom Mboya, Pio Gama Pinto, Robert Ouko and many others; all these murders most foul--- I totally agree with the Senate Majority Leader that the truth shall set us free. Therefore, we want to see a reopening of investigations into these murders, so that Kenyans are given the opportunity to know who was behind these murders, so that they can fully forgive those who were behind the murders and heal collectively and individually. Then we can move on as a nation. You cannot forgive what you do not know or understand; neither can you forgive what remains mysterious. We investigate, know the truth and the truth sets us free as a nation and individuals and we move on. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to just comment on the President’s statement on security. I will quote paragraph 2 of page 2 of the Presidential Speech. He actually said: - “Our nation is more secure.” I beg to totally disagree. Is it a case of two worlds in one nation? Where are we living and where is the President living or which reports does he access? We have increased inter-ethnic conflicts in Turkana, Baringo, Pokot, Marakwet, Baragoi, Mandera and many other places. Everybody is at war with the others. Cattle rustling and related deaths and thefts have reached levels that have never been experienced before; not to mention terrorism and religious intolerance. It is only under this administration that we have seen people being killed in churches and Kenyans being pulled out of moving vehicles, killed and paraded like goats. We have also seen poaching, almost making some animals extinct. Extremism, radicalization and organized crime are rampant. We now even rape in the highest offices. You will bear me witness that fathers are raping their children, hon. Members are raping other women and female Members are also being raped. So, with all due respect, the number of illegal arms in the hands of wrong people is high. We even discussed here the other day when there was a Motion on that. There are killings, thuggery, and mugging and even food insecurity. This country is insecure in a way and manner that cannot even be discussed. So, I beg to totally disagree with that 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."
