    "content": "A society’s civilization is known by how it takes care of its vulnerable people. I think the history of this country is awash with situations where victims, including mass victims of crime, end up suffering more. Looking at all tribal clashes that we have had in the past, the spate of crimes that have taken place in this country, the question you ask yourself is what happens to particular victims. We have even seen that the Government will occasionally assist, as it did at Westgate, families to bury their dead, but that is the end of the matter. The reason that man decided to have governments was to bring civilization. One of the key benefits of government and civilization is security; security is peace. If a person is killed, assaulted or raped and at the end of the day nothing happens to that person in terms of compensation and relief, then we are failing in civilization. I have no doubt that this country has failed victims of crime in the past and in the present. Unless we enhance the provisions of this particular Bill, we will continue to expose victims of crime to more suffering."
