    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge that this Committee takes this Petition seriously and looks at it within the context of building bridges because that is where we are moving to as a country. There is nothing more important for us in this country today than the unity of our people. I thank the petitioners and pray that the Committee will invite all of us throughout this process. They should also ask the National Assembly why it has sat on the TJRC Report for so long. I was in the National Assembly in the last Parliament, but I wonder why it has sat on the TJRC Report all this time. In the last Parliament, when the President came and gave an apology, it looked like something simple, but I could see that some of colleagues had tears in their eyes. An apology by the President for historical injustices meted on some communities was enough for some people to shed tears. In the last State of the Nation Address, the President said that he has set aside Kshs10 billion to be put aside for the processes of historical injustices. I do not know what else he put aside; but under which legal framework? We, as a House, need to put that together so that we stop paying lip-service to this very important thing of uniting our country and building bridges."
