    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to be the first to speak to the National Coroners Service Bill. I support this Bill understanding the fact that the Coroners Service is important. I had to look at what this coroner does. He is an official who will hold inquest into violent, sudden or suspicious deaths. Any death that may appear unnatural would be the work of the coroner to inquire and investigate. There are many deaths that occur that are unnatural. Some of them are due to violence. We had the Post-Election Violence (PEV) where several people lost their lives and up to date the 2007/2008 PEV victims have not obtained any justice because of poor investigative services and they are still looking for justice. So, this service will be very specific to the Coroner-General to ensure that investigation is done within a certain limited amount of time for justice to be done. In today’s newspapers I was reading about a young girl who is claimed to have been battered by her teacher and other pupils for being unable to read. The parent was crying out for justice because when you are poor sometimes people do not listen to you. I believe this will serve justice to the poor people who may not have a voice in seeking for justice. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
