    "content": "It will also be up to this House to help me. Should I bring any amendment to the Act to facilitate this because right now, that provision is lacking? I think I will be seeking an amendment to the Act. Dr. Khalwale should not have any fear at all. In fact, among other things, I was a member of the Serena Team and if I had any reasons to fear a TJRC, speaking for myself, I would have done so from the very beginning. I only acted as a lawyer as I have acted for a lot of people, including some Members of Parliament and Ministers. Therefore, when I was saying the TJRC should be disbanded and I said so, I was not the only one. Even the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs when I appeared before them and even now, there are members of the legal committee who feel that the TJRC was not pulling its way. I was saying so out of the frustrations I had knowing as I do that nothing else, no court process, no other process can ever reconcile Kenya except our own processes like the TJRC. So, you have no fear; absolutely, there is nothing to fear. Unlike Ambassador Kiplagat, if you raised any issues about Mutula, I would come up and own up completely. Therefore, I am satisfied that I have responded to those clarifications. The two commissioners who resigned are; Prof. Ron Slye from America and the other one is my good learned friend, Ms. Betty Murungi, a distinguished lawyer and a person of high standing in this area. The resignations were related, as I have said, directly to the credibility of the Chair. Now that a Tribunal has been appointed, I am satisfied that as soon as the report comes out, we will deal with it. With regard to the issue raised by hon. Orengo, I can also speak because he is my friend. I think that was the reason driving his argument."
