    "content": "The implementation of Chapter 4, the enforcement of the Bill of Rights cannot happen on their own motion if we do not get input from the LSK. Even if the citizenry is allowed to approach the courts and want to enforce their Bill of Rights at no cost, of course, we know the capacity of our citizenry and they may not be able to know the procedures of approaching the court or the courtroom or filing pleadings. Even if the Bill of Rights suggests that the documentation need not be formal, we want to see LSK come out clearly to help and give pro bono services, not only now to the murder suspects as has been happening, but we want them to expand this mandate. They should also look closely at the advocates who do children matters and child support matters, for instance, probono, but nobody ever gives them credit for what they do. We know that people in our country are poor and cannot afford legal services. Those who can afford legal services, sometimes will go out of their way against a litigant who cannot afford, therefore, overrunning their rights. Even if you have a good case and you are not represented in court, obviously, you will not win. So, we want a society that has a level of conscience and concern for the poor of our country."
