    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to quickly mention some of the issues that were mentioned. Ms. Odhiambo and Mr. Kabando wa Kabando have brought to our attention the fact that the operation of this Act is going to extend beyond the norm of organized crime. It is also going to benefit the vulnerable groups in our society, that is, the women and children. That, I take. In fact, it is an experience that I have also gone through. I remember undertaking a prosecution of somebody because a clan said they must inherit a widow but she was against it and made statements about it. So, I undertook prosecution. But when it came to the hearing of the case, the clan had prevailed, threatened and intimidated her with excommunication from the entire clan, the land and from the family. So, she felt hesitant to come forward and give evidence. These are the type of people that enactment of this Bill will protect."
