    "content": "The Leader of the Majority Party has said that the spirit of the handshake should move us forward. I agree entirely but before we forgive, there is supposed to be truth and justice. The House and the Leader of the Majority Party have an opportunity to have the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report that is gathering dust in the shelves debated. I am sure Kenneth Matiba would be at peace today if we address the issue as a matter of truth, justice and reconciliation so that those people who wronged him come before him or before the TJRC or whatever body we set up to ask for forgiveness and we would have forgiven them. But without a formal structure there are very many Kenyans who have been wronged and are hurting. The Leader of the Majority Party has just mentioned Charles Rubia. We have many who were incarcerated. There are people who have lost their health although they still look like they are alive. It is high time we brought this matter to national debate. Those who committed crimes against others would find a forum to ask and beg for forgiveness. I am sure Kenyans are very good people and will forgive those who have wronged us. Those who were young and cannot even appreciate what Matiba went through, need to be reminded that, at that time, to gather that kind of courage and say that you wanted multiparty politics in this country was rare. We must congratulate and thank Matiba for it."
