    "content": "In terms of the efforts on this Bill, the Access to Information Bill, I just wish to start with my myself. Access to information is part of the freedom of expression and the freedom of media clauses in the Constitution. After law school, I joined an organisation called International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). I learnt a lot about human rights issues, more so the access to information regime. When I was growing up in an estate here in Nairobi, I knew of many friends and many people of my age who passed away for not knowing that the Government has a programme on anti-retrovirals (ARVs). I know people in this country who continue to die of Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) even when the Government is spending a lot of money on ARVs, and there are also global funds. If these people just knew that HIV and AIDS has ARVs, my friends who passed away when they were young would be alive.
