    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity to address this August House. It is always a big honour to speak after the bull of Nandi, the indomitable Sen. Cherarkey. Thank you, for the contribution you have made. Having looked at the report, we are making a new law called the Conflict of Interest Act, but is still a Bill right now. In the long Title, it calls itself “A Bill for an Act of Parliament to provide for the management and regulation of conflict of interest and for connected purposes.” I wish it had read “A Bill to stop the theft of public assets.” We run the risk of covering the theft of public assets into very many poetic and beautiful words. Yes, we will have this law. However, I do not see its capacity to resolve the question of theft of public assets, which is the problem at the heart of the issue. It is important and I agree that “the conflict of interest” as the Bill says, be managed and regulated. We have many provisions that say where somebody is conflicted; they pronounce their conflict. If it is going to blur their judgment as suppose to recuse themselves from a particular process. We wait to see how far this Bill will go when it becomes law---"
