    "content": "The President fulfilled what the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report wanted him to fulfill. That TJRC Report is before this House. The President asked us to process it. However, this House amended the TJRC Act to ensure that this House will now amend the TJRC Report, which was not the intention. So, yes, we have apologised, but are we apologising in order to commit new crimes? As we apologise, in the same breath we are shooting and throwing tear gas at school children on Langata Road. As we apologise, we are throwing tear gas at demonstrators in Narok and bloggers are being jailed on flimsy grounds while the Presidential Communication Unit is spewing the cyber space with vitriol. What is the basis of the apology? Yes, let us apologise for the past and agree not to commit any more crimes. As we speak, from Nyanza, Western, Pokot to Turkana, youngsters cannot get identification cards. They are being frustrated in getting identification cards. The identification cards are not being issued. That is a crime against them. They cannot participate in nationhood because they cannot get identification cards. We are apologising, but creating more problems."
