    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motions:- INTRODUCTION OF ANTI- BUREAUCRACY BILL THAT, aware that delivery of essential services to the people of Kenya is poor; further aware that red tape creates opportunities of corruption; concerned that as a result, millions of Kenyans have not received vital documents such as identity cards, passports, birth and death certificates, title deeds, permits, licences, long after application or request forcing them to resort to the services of \"fixers\" who receive millions of shillings in payment in lieu of speeding up processing of these documents; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament entitled \"The Anti-Bureaucracy Bill\" to provide for the publication of service charters by all Government Ministries, parastatals and local authorities and to prescribe penalties for failure to act on any applications or grants of rights, privileges, awards and services regularly processed by the stated institutions, and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. INTRODUCTION OF OMBUDSMAN BILL THAT, aware that the lack of a public office for Kenyans to report complaints for administrative actions and inactions by the Government of Kenya or its appointed agents causes anger, despondency and a feeling of powerlessness and creates a fertile ground for corruption; taking into account that Kenyans need an office that would efficiently and effectively address their complaints and concerns; noting that a public watchdog established to receive and investigate public complaints against state officials would protect whistle blowers and enhance good governance; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament entitled \"The Ombudsman Bill\" to provide for the creation of an independent office of the Ombudsman which will receive and investigate reports on omissions and commissions of public officials and for matters connected therewith. 1562 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 23, 2007 ENHANCEMENT OF ALLOWANCES FOR POLICE OFFICERS"
