"content": "I once had an encounter with the Office of the Ombudsman and felt that it actually does justice. One’s complaints are heard faster. Being a lawyer, I would have preferred to go to court, but looking at the circumstances surrounding the issue that I was handling, which was behalf of my community, where there was interference in terms of supply of electricity--- We had a lady who just came and said: “Yes, I am the Member of Parliament (MP) here and there shall not be supply of power in this village.” We felt discriminated. That is when it occurred to me that the Office of the Ombudsman existed. We had options to weigh, including going to court. Of course, we were able to flex our muscles to show that we were in that village and nobody would make decisions on our behalf. We would make our own decisions. We went to the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) offices and got that power, while somebody somewhere was saying: “This power supply shall not be.”"
