    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. The principle of conflict of interest has been there for many years. It has been loosely used under the tenets of natural justice. Therefore, it has been left to the courts to determine whether there is conflict of interest or not in any matter of arbitration. Here is a Bill or law that was very explicit on matters of conflict of interest. This House will not allow the Senate to stand in the way of Kenyans in the fight against corruption. That is what they want to do with this Bill. As a House, we must stand firm and support the Government, which is committed to the fight against corruption. The Executive, through the President, has already pronounced itself that this Government will fight corruption. Therefore, the Senate should not come in the way of the will of Kenyans to fight corruption. Without belabouring the point, I support the Motion as moved and reject in totality the proposals made by the Senate."
