    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the issue of public awareness. We intend to benefit from all those reforms. Really, we must benefit from those reforms. We cannot benefit from them if the public and all other sectors are unaware. For example, there is a Bill of Rights which is in place and which is active and yet, in all our security sectors and all our dealings, we handle human rights issues exactly the same way we handled them before the promulgation of the new Constitution. Why is it that our police officers, law enforcement agencies and the public do not utilize or abide by the civil liberties of the Bill of Rights? Why is it that we have reformed the Judiciary and yet, there is so little awareness as far as that is concerned? In order to handle that, we intend, as a Committee, to co-ordinate an extensive national awareness and civic education campaigns through the implementing agencies and the Executive, including the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, the Commission of the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), the devolved task force which I had mentioned earlier and the civil society to ensure that the benefits are achieved. That way, the new law will bear fruits and make those benefits become a reality."
