You may recall that when I spoke on the original Bill, I said that the Office of the Attorney-General, in fact, had earned itself, very unfairly, a bad reputation for not prosecuting cases successfully or sometimes at all. Just like my learned junior, Mr. Eugene Wamalwa has said, a case is as good as its witnesses. A case is as good as how you present it before the court. The history of witness protection, if you look at other jurisdictions--- America was able to enact a witness protection law after the bootlegging scandals."}
