    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Like my other colleagues, may I also thank hon. Millie for a job well done! It is not surprising really because hon. Millie Odhiambo has been among the Kenyans in the fore-front who have been fighting for human rights. This is an important Bill because it will assist us in ensuring that the Constitution that Kenyans passed overwhelmingly is implemented. This is captured under Clause 50 of this Bill. This Clause meets the aspirations of Part IV of the Constitution of Kenya. If there is any part of the Constitution that made me support the Constitution 2010 fully, then it is Part IV which is on the Bill of Rights. This is one thing that has been missing in our Constitution from the beginning. So, anything that goes to ensure that Part IV is made operational, I support fully. The provisions of this Bill will encourage people to volunteer information. Eyewitnesses, to be specific, are encouraged to report. The problem we have where crimes are perpetrated is that many eyewitnesses develop cold feet when it comes to reporting the crimes that they have witnessed. That is also because, at times, they go to report and fear that they may be victims. So, the provisions here and this framework will really assist in that."
