    "content": "In two State of the Nation Addresses, the President of Kenya came and told us here that there is Kshs10 billion Restorative Justice Fund. Money has been allocated to that in two budget cycles and I believe even in this third budget cycle. There is no list that anyone in the Government can tell us where the Kshs10 billion has gone to from the last time President Uhuru talked about the Kshs10 billion Restorative Justice Fund. There is no regulation or law anchored for the Restorative Justice Fund. This is the case and yet we have the Budget and Appropriations Committee, where I sit. We pass it. We have the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee led by Hon. Chepkong’a that should fight for human rights. There is no Bill, law or framework. How are we to know that that Kshs10 billion could have taken care of the interests of those people in Kibra and places like that when we say let us talk to each other? How do we make you whole as a country and as leadership? Do you forgive each other? How do we give you what you lost? We are doing work on reconciliation. There are people who have relinquished houses they took in my constituency in Kibra from other people. They have voluntarily given them back. We have not done it by force. It has been a process of engagement, discussion, dialogue, recognising everyone’s dignities and saying this was wrong and how do we fix it. I think it is an important issue that must be done."
