    "content": "The issue of conflict of interest is very well addressed both in the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, Leadership and Integrity Act and our Constitution. Indeed, remember that we are even supposed to have a register where you register conflict of interest. Hon. Sossion should have registered that one. Whether we like it or not, he is conflicted. Hon. Sossion, you do not have to address me on this issue. There is no way you can persuade anybody that when you are dealing with this matter, you are just like any other Member who left his or her constituency and came here. Maybe, it is something that you have sat in your Union where you are the Secretary-General and discussed. It becomes very difficult now, especially when you sit in that same Committee. I am acutely aware that you are also a member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare with a few others, including the Member who raised up his hand there. There is someone I am looking for. Yes, I can see the Hon. Tonui and several others like Hon. Omboko Milemba. Sometimes, it is only fair if you can opt out on your own volition. In fact, you can imagine how useful the Hon. Sossion would be when he is not a member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. He is appearing before that Committee and prosecuting matters about the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), without anyone there responding or feeling that either they are sharing information with the Committee which you are then picking and possibly using it in your other union meetings. I believe you would do very well if you were not a member of that Committee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
