    "content": "This is a school in Olkaria area, where we expect to get a lot of energy for economic empowerment of our country. So, I want to welcome them, as their Member of Parliament, to this House. Economic development of a country will depend on how far justice is dispensed in it. We have always said that justice is a double-edged sword. This should be interpreted not only in giving punishment to the perpetrator, but also in ensuring that the victim is properly protected, and actually distribution is seen to have been done. Our justice system has y concentrated on ensuring that we punish crime perpetrators, and totally ignores the victim of such perpetration. In that case you find that there is what we may call “re-victimization” where victims suffer double tragedy. For a long time this country has been good in that. For instance, during the ongoing police recruitment a lot of injustice has been done. We saw people turned away on very flimsy reasons, through corruption and all that. When a crime happens you are supposed to report it to the same perpetrators, that is the police force. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
