    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am thoroughly shocked. What the repeal of this law intends to achieve is to eliminate impunity. For somebody to insist that we maintain in our books; our statutes, a law that contravenes, not only our Constitution, but every other shred or vein of Constitution in any civilized environment. We are in a situation right now in the world in which the prison warders in the Auswich and who worked in Germany at the time of the Nazi Holocaust, those of them who are living are brought to book today. There is no statute of limitation on criminal liability. What we are looking for are not genuine Kenyans who are fighting the force who are from the other side who are also armed. We are looking for the criminals who perpetuated Wagalla, Malkamali, Walkatasi, all those genocides and massacres and some of them enjoying high profile positions in the Government today as I speak. When we are trying to deal with impunity, seeking to reform this country and to leave behind a legacy and our President, His Excellency, hon. Mwai Kibaki, wants to leave a legacy behind, I would plead with my good friend, the Professor of law, who was one of those people whom we thought were going to uphold the fact that impunity should always be punished regardless of how long it takes, even posthumously, to advise the President that this cannot work in this day and era. It is a different dawn in this country and it is not constitutional."
