    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 58 be further amended:- (i) in subclause (1)(a) by inserting the words “of that state organ or public entity” immediately after the words “or Board”. (ii) in subclause (1)(b) by deleting the word “a” appearing immediately after the words “an officer of” and substituting therefor with the words “that”. Listening to the concerns of the Members and further consultations with my neighbour here, I propose to move this further amendment to Clause 58(1)(a), so that it is clear that you cannot enter into a contract to do business with Parliament if you are working in Parliament. It is only the State organ that you work for that you cannot enter into a contract with. If you are working in Parliament, you cannot do business with Parliament, but you can do business with any other State organ such as the National Treasury or the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. In subclause (1)(b), again, we are limiting it to that specific institution and not all State organs. Otherwise, we will be discriminating against those State officers. As my friend, Hon. Duale, has said, we might want them to do business in other countries and not Kenya. Alternatively, they might have to resign so that they can do business, which is very unfair. The further amendment that I am proposing is to limit it to that specific organization and then it will be okay."
