    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I had already commenced moving and I just want to say that this Bill, from what is provided in the long title, is an Act of Parliament to give effect to Article 59 of the Constitution to provide for protection of victims of crime and abuse of power and to provide them--- Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. To provide for reparation and compensation to victims, to provide special protection for vulnerable victims and for connected purposes. If you look at Article 50(9) of the Constitution that it seeks to give effect to, it provides that:- “(9) Parliament shall enact legislation providing for the protection, rights and welfare of victims of offences”. This law mainly seeks to give effect to Article 50(9) of the Constitution. What informed this law was the way the law treat victims vis-a-vis the offender. I want to seek your indulgence. I know that you are not supposed to read but I am referring to my notes on the IPad, so that it does not appear that I am reading and also because we reduced time and it is very short to move this. What informed this was the way the law treats victims vis-a-vis the offenders."
