    "content": "It is also pleasing to see that the Bill requires that where a victim goes to make a report or is being dealt with, any special features for the victim, including their cultural values, are taken into consideration. This is so that people are treated bearing in mind what their values are, age, gender and et cetera . I think this is really encouraging. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would only add that just the other day, we were recruiting 10,000 police officers. I think part of their training should be issues to do with human rights and the Bill of Rights, including what we are talking about now so that those who are going in afresh, should be made fully aware of what such laws say. Those who are in the field and have been there for long and who still have that mentality of even brutalizing those who go to report should be given refresher courses so that they can be up to date with the requirements of this Bill and similar ones. We also have victims of poverty and I think whereas the Government may be attempting to address that through support for the elderly people, I think the way it is being done is totally wrong. There is a lot of corruption and it is not clear how those who get this kind of support are listed, registered or even selected. I consider such people not just being victims of poverty, but also victims of corruption. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those comments, I strongly support."
