    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. May I inform the Hon. Member for Mt. Elgon that I was here when the Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker entered and so I came to this House well before him. Hon. Speaker, that notwithstanding, I thank you for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker as you are aware, the P3 Forms are supposed to be given freely in all police stations. From the experience in our local police stations, and this is something which is common across Kenya, although these forms are meant to be free, they are not available. I would like to emphasise that the P3 Forms should be availed in all police stations. Due to the ignorance of our people, when the common wananchi go to a police station in a case of, say, assault, they are forced to pay some money. That is not legal. This is corruption targeting the poor. I will call upon the National Police Service to put in place all necessary mechanisms to ensure that common people from all corners of this country get free services at the police stations. Denial of P3 Forms is denial to access to justice. In some cases such as rape whereby it is not easy to proof, delay in provision and filling of the P3 Forms might lead to miscarriage of justice. This should neither be encouraged nor contemplated. The public hospitals in the counties near police stations should also be encouraged to put mechanisms in place whereby a victim is not denied service just because they cannot afford to pay the Kshs1, 500 which is charged by consultant doctors.
