    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to second the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. The amendments raised by the Leader of the Majority Party, especially on issues dealing with corruption and the Judiciary, are very important. As raised by Members when discussing the matter of Kenya Airways by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, it is clear that we have serious issues of corruption across many sectors in the country. Apart from this Bill, there is also serious confusion between the EACC and the DCI. The DCI has left its work of investigating non-economical crimes. It has now focused on economic crimes because they want to put their hands on what they are investigating. Giving these powers to the EACC will ensure that it can investigate all of us and any other Kenyan so that you do not find officers being investigated while they are still in office. It becomes very difficult for the EACC because those officers interfere with witnesses. On the Judiciary, some areas, like where I come from, Elgeyo Marakwet County, only have the smallest magistrate court."
