    "content": "holding our nation back and need to be addressed once and for all. The President‟s apologies should therefore be the beginning of the whole process that must be inclusive and bipartisan in dealing with historical injustices. The apologies must be directed to specific individuals and mention specific incidents. A blanket apology does not meet the needs of the victims. It is not enough to see the State genuinely concerned about the abuse that they have suffered. The State must set up a mechanism that will identify the victims and assess the injuries that victims have suffered over the years. They must compensate the victims for their injuries as much as possible through clearly spelt out budgetary provisions that make the compensation a right and not a favour. The Government must return property that had been illegally taken from victims and the general public. The Government must investigate instances of injustice and prosecute perpetrators of those injustices when they are still alive. Alternatively, the State must set up a mechanism through which perpetrators can seek and be granted amnesty for the injustices that it has caused. I want to support the Address. Thank you."
