    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to support strongly this Petition ably prosecuted by the Senator for Nandi. The irony of this Petition is that the first body to sufficiently address the matters that are being prayed for is the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC), and they did so in their Report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the irony is that the chairman of that body was a Nandi by the name of Bethwel Kiplagat. A further irony is that as requested by Sen. Cheruiyot, none of the successive governments have bothered to even just say they are sorry. Is it not ironical that the current Government should have been the first to do so given that the Deputy President is also a Nandi? How money corrupts people! They have completely refused to be sorry simply because they are in positions that have zoned them into comfortable zones. Therefore, because this matter affects very many people in this country, I demand that the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta implements the recommendations of the TJRC with immediate effect. As they do so, they should remember to tell the Colonial Government that they came to Roasterman in Kakamega which is now Ikolomani, Shikusa, Malinya and Lirembe and exploited and stole all our gold. Our people must be compensated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because the time remaining is very short, we hope that when “Baba”, Kalonzo, Wetangula or Mudavadi take over, they will do the obvious. I support."
