    "content": "Thank you for the information. I could not put it better. When terms become that difficult, then there is a problem. We should call this theft by servants, which should be handled by the police. When I steal a chicken, I am not accused of corruption. However, when I steal a billion shillings, I am accused of corruption. I do not understand it. This is technically a way of saying that we create two laws for the citizens of Kenya; one for the rich and well-connected, and another one for the small people. The people who steal from the wagon are called thieves and those who steal the whole train plus the railway line are called corrupt. Then it becomes tricky when you try to look for corruption in the penal code. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is my plea that the EACC should be limited to matters of ethics. I would want a situation whereby the EACC would operate like a meat inspector. When a meat inspector goes to a butchery and finds meat which is unfit for human consumption being sold, they do not take over the work of the police. They call the police to the site and let them take over the criminal aspect of the issue. Let the EACC ensure enforcement of Chapter 6 of the Constitution when investigating corruption. However, where they encounter criminality, let them hand it The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
