    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank the Mover for coming up with this very important Motion on devolution of the Office of the Ombudsman. I rise to support this Motion because two years ago I was once assisted by the Office of the Ombudsman. As a lawyer, I would have quickly rushed to any court of law when I felt that I was unfairly treated by the administration. It was a case where I was unfairly treated by the Rural Electrification Authority (REA). I weighed the options that I had. I had the option of going to court or going to the Ombudsman. The issue about rural electrification was not only for me but for the entire village. Almost 40 homes have benefited after the Ombudsman assisted me. When we advised the villagers that we should go to the Office of the Ombudsman instead of going to court, they were asking me what that office is all about and they did not know who the Ombudsman is. In fact, he needs to demystify some of the services for people to feel them right at the grassroots level. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
