    "content": "It is already mentioned that there are so many Kenyans who cannot afford insurance. There are some who cannot afford it, and there are some who are not even aware that generally you can insure yourself against many ills. Many people who are affected by crimes are not able to support themselves by, for example, taking cases to courts and following them up to the end. Some of them cannot even report crimes because they think that they will not be compensated. Even if they are compensated--- There are times when somebody is, maybe, sexually abused, but because of fear, or lack funds to take care of them--- Most people will suffer in silence. I think that the creation of a fund to protect victims of violence of whatever nature--- In this case it is wide; it is about the sexual offences and similar wrongs. It is even about accidents and loss of a member of a family, the breadwinner. It is very wide and covers most of the areas that should be covered when it comes to victims of whatever form of violence. I think this is a very timely Bill that should be supported; even after it has gone through, it is very important that it is implemented and seen to be implemented. It should be implemented so that it helps the many people who are suffering because of ignorance, poverty and many other things. I beg to support this Bill because it is very important to the people of Kenya, people who are able and people who are not able. Even our friend, a whole Member of Parliament, has said that he is limping, not because he was born a lame man, but because of circumstances. So, victimization is something that cuts across all people. So, I support the Bill."
