    "content": "We hope that in due course, we will catch up with other countries in the world where when you are convicted you may have to wait for a period before you start serving a sentence. In some countries like the Nordic countries, prisoners are even entitled to receive visits from their spouses. I know that may upset a number of people, but I am sorry, I am a Minister for reforms and I am looking for a modern country which respects the rights of citizens. In fact, at page 1046, Clause 30, we have provided for a citizen who is a prisoner and who thinks that he has suffered in the hands of the Committee to commence proceedings. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have no hesitation in commending this Bill to this hon. House in order to show, in addition to legislating on rights of ordinary citizens, we are including our prisoners. I beg to move and my good friend, hon. Otieno has kindly agreed to second the Bill."
