    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I commend the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. We would have wanted to see these issues of historical injustices dealt with in a wholesome manner. The case of Kericho and the one of the Mau Mau have gone through. However, there are many others that we need to look into so that this country can take time to heal. For instance, we also have the historical injustices which were meted out against the Kisii community, where my grandfather was killed holding a shield, thinking it can protect him against the bullet; he was shot dead. There was also the case with the Otenyo family. These are issues that have never been resolved and they are with us here. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, through that Committee, it may be now prudent to revisit the TJRC Report and the recommendations from the NLC so that we can tackle this matter together and put it to rest. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
