• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I want to clarify that this small Bill is actually meant to amend the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act which was passed by the 10th Parliament. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) was created by that Act. The Commission has done its work and given its Report to the President.

The Committee feels strongly that the proposed amendments will protect the substance ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The particular amendments that we seek and which we will introduce during the Third Reading will be to the effect that any such consideration will not interfere with the context, the text, the form or the substance of the Report. So, those among us who might be afraid of discussing the Report or think that Parliament might alter it should find comfort in the amendments sought by the Committee to protect the Report. The substance of the Report will remain protected. However, it is important that the National Assembly has time to debate the matters raised in that Commission’s Report. view
