    "content": "citizens go through to be dispossessed because the wheels of justice turn too slowly. To find a better way of dealing with this matter is a very big relief. In fact, like I said earlier, we have the Office of the Ombudsman and in the Constitution, we provide for the office of the public defender. These are some of the things that office should be doing. The Office of the Ombudsman is supposed to be a simplified version of the office of the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General, to help people in matters of dispute and to ensure matters of violation of people’s rights are dealt with. However, they have maintained a loud conspiracy of silence; you do not hear or see them, they do nothing, they see and they say nothing. They are just there and this is the problem with this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will find that people placed in offices, enter officers that are of public good and start wearing regional and ethnic blinkers so that when people who come from your community or from your region do wrong things, you do not see them. You are only able to see things because they are being done by communities that do not belong to you. That is very wrong and dangerous for a country that is striving for unity and fairness across board. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that the fruits of this Bill will flow to everybody and every corner and that sufficient public knowledge will be impacted to people to know that now they do not have to sell a portion of their land to go to a lawyer or to court. They can look for somebody knowledgeable enough to help them get to a panel somewhere, get justice, have that justice enforced, and get their rights."
