    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can have all the laws and institutions in place, but political will is critical. Also important is commitment by those institutions to ensure that before they take somebody to court, they have done comprehensive investigation and gathered sufficient evidence that can sustain a case in court. These institutions must take into account all the factors that are necessary. There are three stages in this process. There is the issue of investigation, the process of prosecution and finally, the conviction. Even as we deal with the policy on anti-corruption, unless and until we see convictions arising from the anticorruption cases, the general public confidence in the fight against corruption by the Government and by the institutions will still not be supported. Therefore, this policy will set the parameters, so that the DPP, for example, sitting in his office, does not just approve a case for prosecution just because the DCI or the EACC has recommended prosecution. He should go beyond that because at the end of the day, he is the one to go to court and prosecute that case."
