    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to congratulate Mr. Renson Mulele. I want to inform him that he is entering into an office that will require him to be very clear on how and where he wants to take this country. This is an institution that has been used so badly. Every person will be picked up by the EACC and the matter is taken up by the Office of DPP, and then you find yourself either with a case or no case. It is now for him to streamline the operations of that office. He should look at all the prosecutors who have been there. If possible, he should ensure that he starts on a new slate by transferring some of the prosecutors who have been so much in Nairobi and outside. The other thing is to look at the different cases, and especially those involving young people. There are so many cases involving the youth which are just lying in court. You will find a prosecutor in court but he is unable to even get witnesses or even follow through the case. The case does not have any substantive measure to move on and, therefore, they live into all these remands that we have, and you wonder when their cases would end. As he comes into office, I hope he would look at cases that can be conclusive and without any substantive issue, to be closed, and especially, those of the young people. Lastly, there is an issue that is very interesting. Today, for instance, you find that there is a case in court and it is the prosecutor who will be asking the parents, especially on issues of land. We are now hoping that we can end this issue of land and widows who are wondering what they would do next with their cases in courts. With those few remarks, I wish him well and hope that he will cooperate with other institutions to see that Kenya, within the justice system, is working better. Thank you."
