"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman. I am alive to the fact that overriding our presidential memorandum is an uphill task as per the Constitution. However, we must go on record, so that if matters go to court, the intention of the legislature can be interpreted from the record by the lawyers who will be there. The worry here about the affinity definition is because it is so wide, so that a person who wants to enforce will have a challenge. In this case, I am looking at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) that is the enforcing authority. Will they define relative to mean a person who is related to the public officer by birth, marriage, adoption, or affinity? When you look at the first three, there is no discussion about it. However, when you come to the fourth one, “affinity”, it is so loose that somebody can actually use that to harm people or to destroy somebody. This means that when they are enforcing anything against a public officer, they can go for any person whom they think has some form of affinity or association with the person of interest."
