    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to state this, the suggested amendments are going to water down the investigation powers of the Commission. Sometimes when an investigator is investigating, if you ask them to state the reasons why they suspect, then you are warning the suspect in advance. When it relates to economic crimes, you are actually giving a signal, so that even the property of money may be spirited away. It is like asking the investigator to share raw information which they have not processed with the suspect. I would want to persuade Mr. Marende to withdraw this amendment, because it is not in the interest of strengthening the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). I believe that these intended amendments are further watering down the powers of the KACC. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also want to say that, you say that we insert the words \"in relation to any property specified by the Director and with regard to such specified property\", but when investigators ask a suspect to list down their properties, they must list down everything, even that which is not known by the KACC. So, we are now providing that a suspect can only list what is already known. It actually waters down the investigative powers of the KACC. With those few remarks, I beg to oppose."
