    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start with the issues raised by hon. Affey and assure him that, speaking as line Ministry, I have never believed that The Indemnity Act (Repeal) Bill as framed would facilitate proper functioning of the TJRC. Having said that, I have also seen the memorandum that has come from His Excellency the President, and I think it is up to Parliament to deal with it, so that the people of North Eastern Province, and other areas of the country, can know that The Indemnity Act would not be a hindrance to finding the truth. I must reiterate that the new Constitution, anyway, will not permit a situation where somebody is hiding behind an Indemnity Act if a crime has been committed. I would also like to say that there is no time limit on crimes. The country must come to terms with the fact that any indemnity conferred would actually be limited to, perhaps, only damages, civil awards and things like that. If somebody has committed a crime, they cannot hide behind this sort of provision. I agree entirely with hon. Odhiambo-Mabona and I would like to say, yes, I will prioritize to the extent that I can get special expertise."
