    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill is very timely because for this country to survive in the next five or ten years, as a growing concern, depends on how public servants behave. Conflict of interest has been a big issue and it continues to be one. So, I believe it must be addressed. The definition of a public officer is any person who renders government services whether appointed or elected, full time or part time and permanent or temporary. It includes a State officer, member, employee, et cetera . These are people who are employed in any State organ, national Government or county government. It includes everybody in the Government service. For a long time in this country, in the Ministry of Roads, road contracts were given to engineers. In the Ministry of Water, water contracts were given to water engineers. In the forestry sector, contracts were given to public servants. I support this Bill because there are many businesses in this country that are being done by public servants. They make money and keep it in their houses. The money does not circulate 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."
