    "content": "In the event of mediation, for example, in a situation where there is a land dispute, there is need for witnesses to be present. However, sometimes witnesses can die and then there is no one else to give a witness account. Therefore, there is also need for written information so that it can be referred to at some point. Written communication is more permanent than audio communication. Even in a community, people can refer to the written communication and say there was a conflict between family A and B concerning this piece of land. As a result, village elders came, the arbitrator was there and this is what was reached. Whatever was reached should be upheld up to the last minute so that people do not flout agreements. There are times when people flout agreements where people had agreed on a certain thing. Some days or weeks later after the conflict is over, some people go back to what they used to do. So, there is need for a written agreement and to have photocopies made of the agreement. This will ensure that both disputants have the written communication and they can always refer back to it in case of anything. I support this Bill by Sen. Kasanga, and I hope it will be taken with the seriousness that it deserves together with the Ombudsman Bill also to ensure that there is service delivery to wananchi in the counties and everywhere else. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
