    "content": "There is the issue of notices. We have had experience of demolitions of people’s properties. When you move around you see red marks put on investments that people have made over a long time and spent a lot of money on. These constructions are demolished without any notice being given to the citizens. This Bill is going to give leverage to members of the public who will have redress in case their properties are destroyed through ad hoc decisions that are negotiated by the so called private developers. There is the issue of vetted officers. With the implementation of the new Constitution we have had very many people absorbed into the public service and even into high offices like those in the presidency. One wonders because now and again you find that the President is for example misadvised here and there and a Cabinet Secretary (CS) is also misadvised. We see pronouncements that are challenged every now and then in the media and all over. We have for a long time nurtured the principle of vetted officers. This Bill should also provide opportunities for vetting of officers so that we do not have people working in the public service and behaving as casuals as we experience now. That is why we have terrorism all over because the people responsible for advising the Executive are not doing so. If you look at the process of appointments and promotions of public officers you start to wonder. We are now experiencing cases where we have a lot of officers in acting positions."
