    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee observed that- (1) Branding public projects and vehicles with individual names or images translates to personalization of public resources. (2) The display of information on projects and buildings is guided by the Physical and Land Use Planning Act, Cap. 303; the Urban Areas and Cities Act Cap. 275; the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Cap. 236A and its Public Health and Safety Regulations; the National Construction Authority Act Cap. 118 and its Building Code, 2024. Additionally, the Site Board Guide by the National Construction Authority (NCA) explicitly highlights the required details to be displayed on project sites. (3) Using public funds to brand projects and vehicles with the names or images of public officers amounts to misuse of public resources and goes against the principles of transparency and prudent financial management as set out in Sections 79 and 162 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee recommended that- (1) Public officers, including governors, MCAs and officials at both national and county levels should strictly adhere to the laws guiding conduct of public officers, including the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, the Public Service (Values and Principles) Act, 2015, the Public Officer Ethics Act, Cap. 183 and the Leadership and Integrity Act, Cap. 185C. 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."
