    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this policy. The GJLO sector is core to any country. Our Committee Members were very passionate about how the Government or country can strengthen the GJLO sector. We felt that the GJLOS programme has been ongoing in this country for a while. I can testify that when I was a Commissioner of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the GJLOS was ongoing. But because of lack of serious commitment by the State, after the donors withdrew, the GJLOS funding came to an end and the Government was unable to implement the programme. There were many beneficiary institutions that were public and semi-autonomous, and which made a lot of progress. The unfortunate part of GJLOS was that they were not implementing the reports of the institutions in the basket funding. It is useful for us to develop a national policy, but the most crucial part is the implementation. Many will agree that this country has a bad history in terms of implementation of such reports. The most affected area is security in terms of sustaining law and order. When our security sector is not reformed, the achievement of justice, law and order is seriously challenged. I have interacted with some security apparatus. Yesterday, I went to Nyayo House to assist one of my electorate and I saw that the police have no regard for the human rights of people who apply for passports and identity cards. They still harass and mishandle people, particularly people with disability, women and members of communities who want to observe their culture and practices in terms of their faith."
