"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, when he is sitting at the backbench, it is very easy for him to make that statement. I was just saying he was at some point sitting where Sen. Farhiya sits and he knows what was going on around here. I rise to support in a short time to say this. I came across this principle called having assets un-proportionate to your known source of income when I was in university. This law is old. Countries have done this before. If you read a book by Mahathir “From Third World to First”, he has a topic called clean government. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is no difference between clean government and lifestyle. In fact, he did not want to get to a place where you have to check why is it that CS have cars or hotels that cannot be accounted for. The minute there is wind of corruption in Mahathir‘s Government, you are out. He passed that law in the 1960s. That is why Singapore is where it is. I sat in a forum in London. It is an incorporation of what would be our EACC combined of various countries. This Finance Minister of Nigeria was jailed for a long time for corruption. In an effort to trace where he had placed his money, his wife was not as clever as him. She was going to Harrolds and spending EUR20,000 et cetera . They thought, wait a minute. The husband of this lady is in jail and this lady is not working. Where does she get this money? In that framework, that gentleman was jailed in England for fraud. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have companies here. Forget about even lifestyle audit. We have companies that are actively bribing public officials. This lifestyle audit and Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is right, it is not about the person who runs Equity Bank. If he runs a bank and you find him with a Kshs17 million car, why would you ask him? That is possibly his interest. However, when you have a public servant driving a range rover costing Kshs25 million or Kshs30 million, where did that person get the money from?"
