    "content": ". When the family of the victim got in touch with me, I asked them why they could not report the matter to the police. They told me that in order for the police to record their statement, they need to look for “something” small. That was before they got to the Kshs1,500 for filling in the P3 Form so that they could access justice. For the police simply to take your statement indicating that you have been cut by somebody, you need to look for around Kshs3,000. These are some of the things we should be looking at. The poor are being denied justice simply because they are poor. The Government has gone ahead, in some cases, to provide free legal representation to people who cannot afford to hire lawyers. It is only in order that the free medical examinations proposed in this Motion by Hon. Omar Mwinyi are approved so that people can access justice, just like the criminals who now access justice because the Government provides for them. Hon. Nyikal talked at length about the problems we face. The Government of Kenya can afford to recruit a police surgeon for every county, who will then move around the sub-counties as per a publicised tour programme to sign P3 Forms to enable people access this important service. We know the ones which are going to be most needed and are urgent like in rape cases. Those can be fast-tracked so that each and every county can have a police surgeon so that there is no backlog."
