    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Mover of this Motion for a very commendable job. As Mrs. Shebesh has said, it only takes brave men and women to do what this hon. Member has done. As a country, unless we reach to a level where we can speak for the truth and justice, we will be swimming in mud. If we are not careful and do not deal with the issues that bedevil the country, we will find ourselves in the same situation we were in 2007. Going by the Report that this Committee has presented, I want to speak about certain principles that are now entrenched in our Constitution by virtue of Article 2(4) of the Constitution which allows any treaties that Kenya has ratified to be part of the laws of the land. If you look at the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Covenant on Elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, amongst others, you will find that they entrench very important rights that last for every season and time. As a people and a nation, unless we are informed and reminded of these rights, we will be entrapped by our traps. If you look at even the way the human rights were set, many people allude to human rights as God"
