    "content": "I will refer and take Members to Clause 31, which gives the EACC powers to be the investigative body and the repository. The Constitution of Kenya gives every Kenyan citizen the right against self-incrimination. These powers can be abused. We have seen and I know that some Members of this House have been culprits of weaponisation of the law. We can never allow it to happen again. This House must pass laws for the posterity of this nation. We also need to balance and ensure that we protect against unjust enrichment through abuse of public office. We must also protect against nepotism so that we do not have people using their positions of power to influence and ensure that they have sort of a cartel where they cut out other Kenyans from accessing resources and employment opportunities because of the power they hold by dint of the fact that it is a public office.
