    "content": "Clause 14 deals with compensation of the victims, a very good one, indeed; I am happy that the Mover of this Bill is here. We should try to bridge the gap that exists where a person faced injured by a criminal has to go to a civil court to get compensation, even if a crime has been committed against that person. I think we need to even look at the civil and criminal procedures to ensure that a magistrate gets jurisdiction to deal with both the criminal aspect as well as the civil aspect. The magistrate should not only give a judgment against the culprit but also give a judgment in favour of the victim in terms of compensation, including what we normally call “damages for pain and suffering” where injury has been occasioned."
