Koroi reiterated this position more forcefully on 28 June. He said that he believed that the intent of the bill was good, but that it missed a key point essential to reconciliation: that there has to be genuine repentance on the part of the wrongdoer. He said that the perpetrators of the coup, whom he called "thugs," showed no sign of repentance for ""their treacherous deeds,"" and that there could be no reconciliation without it. ""Sadly, the Ministry of Reconciliation with its good intentions has not identified its key points,"" he said.
