"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill but with a number of amendments. It is clear that the Bill is coming to cure what we call the “Kenyan cancer.” The Kenyan cancer is corruption, nepotism and conflict of interest.

The spirit is right because it is addressing the actual issues that are affecting our people. It will make sure that this country gets out of the shackles of corruption, nepotism and conflict of interest. However, the wording requires amendment. I will give a few instances.

By virtue of the creation of the EACC Act, the EACC is an investigative body that investigates 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."
