    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to retrace the journey to yesterday’s announcement by Mr. Louis Moreno Ocampo so as to remind ourselves how and why we got to this point. I sincerely believe that some historical perspective is necessary in order to fully understand our present circumstances and to articulate a way forward on this matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 4th March, 2008, the eight Members of the Serena Dialogue Team signed an agreement as part of the National Accord for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry on the Post Election Violence. The terms of reference of the Commission now known as the Waki Commission were:- (1) To investigate the facts and surrounding circumstances related to the acts of violence that followed the 2007 Presidential Elections. (2) To investigate the actions or omissions of State security agencies during the course of the violence and make recommendations as necessary. (3) To recommend measures of a legal, political or administrative nature as appropriate, including measures with regard to bringing to justice those persons responsible for criminal acts. The terms of reference of the Commission further provided that certain aspects of the Commission’s Report may be kept secret in order to protect the identity of witnesses or the persons accused and, hence, the secret envelope. I will lay on the Table the Serena Agreement."
