    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that. I will be very happy if a matter like that one comes up because, essentially, I will be speaking the way I am speaking now. I am only speaking about the possibility of countries going into violence when commissions come up with reports that have the potential to reverse the gains we have made, as the IIBRC was just about to do. If the intention was granted to gazette a list of constituencies which, perhaps, would have polarised the country, then we have every right to say that, because our hon. Members will represent us at the PAP in South Africa, I have a right to feel proud that the commissions that we have established actually maintain the cohesiveness that we actually establish them to achieve. Therefore, if there is a Motion which will be coming to address this matter, I will definitely contribute to it and give my opinion because I believe that they never did the right thing in terms of the spirit in which we established the commission. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am generally talking about democracy, the rule of law and the chaos that we have seen in this region. They happen when people feel that justice has not been done. Definitely, people will protest. As I read this Report, I noticed that the PAP considered in great detail, the issue of Somalia. We are now aware that the African Union has appointed the former President of Ghana, Mr. Kufuor, to see whether he can add to the political and diplomatic leverage the African Union has over this process. I think it is a good thing, and we congratulate them for doing so. If the issue of Somalia is not addressed, Kenya and Africa will continue to suffer because the issue of piracy is not only a Kenyan problem but a global problem, and it exists because there is no functional government to take care of the matters of Somalia."
