    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you may have read in the newspapers that a number of Members of Parliament living in Karen have been victims of gate-hijacking and so on. What happens when law enforcement agencies cannot reach those people because of intimidation? That fund should take to court the requests of victims that they should be compensated regardless of whether the law enforcement agencies have succeeded to get and capture the criminals or secure a conviction. Some of those may require further research in the law of evidence and further research in the fine components in all the proceedings that we are getting. However, the law already gives us the framework under this Bill to enrich it and drive to a point where all criminals will be responsible for all the costs of their activities in this country, either directly or through their contributions to the fund. If we convict you for carrying drugs, whether there was a particular victim on that day, but other Kenyans have suffered in the hands of the drugs you sell, then those people are also victims. That is because they take your drugs and they are now cabbages. They are victims of your activities in that trade. When we catch you trafficking those drugs, then you should pay for the compensation and rehabilitation of 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."
