Secondly, the Prime Minister has talked about reconciliation as a strategy that the Government is using, which we support, but could he tell us what has happened to the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) that is headed by Amb. Kiplagat? The man disappeared from the scene immediately he and his Commissioners were sworn- in. We have never heard of them again. What is happening?
