    "content": "One of the jurisdictions of the Ombudsman that is well known is in Sweden. As I said earlier, I had an occasion to work closely with the Swedish Ombudsman. It is an extremely respected Commission. In fact, the Ombudsman in Sweden is not under any ministry. It reports directly to the Parliament of Sweden. That shows you how seriously the Ombudsman is treated. They give reports of what they have done, the issues that they have followed up and those they have not followed up. This Commission needs to gradually get to that level. In fact, in other jurisdictions in Europe, this Commission is not called Ombudsman. It is called Parliamentary Commissioner because Parliament is the representative of the people. So, for Kenyans who are struggling with maladministration or have issues with the Government, they need to find space so that those issues can be addressed. It is as important as that."
