    "content": "and again the methodology in which we go through the Office of the Ombudsman for complaints. Obviously, one of the biggest deterrents is the distance involved. Therefore, there is a case made here. One of the things that this Senate can do is to decentralise these services to the lowest units for the time being, to every county in this country so that the people can have access to this very important service. First of all, it is free. You just have to make a complaint and they investigate. Secondly, they are accessible and thirdly, they cannot be cornered because even if they are located in the governor’s office, the checks and balances by the community around will make them a bit careful. It will not be run over by the organs or by state officers who are resident in that county. Therefore, I fully subscribe to it. I thank Sen. Were for bringing this very important Motion. I hope it will soon be translated into a Bill so that it can become a substantive legal framework that we can use to help our people in the rural areas and even at the headquarters, to deal with this menace of flouting openly and in a very arrogant manner, some of the principles and values that we have so painstakingly put in our Constitution to guide us and the conduct of every Kenyan the way they should live. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
