    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the amendment proposed in relation to section 30 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act be amended by deleting all the words after the words \"giving false information\". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in this amendment I am supported by the Committee on Adminstration of Justice and Legal Affairs. We commend His Excellency the President for recognising that there is need to safeguard the interest of the suspect against whom investigations are being carried out and protect them from evidence that has been obtained out of notice that may 4374 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 4, 2007 have been served on them or proceedings against them by the KACC from that evidence being adduced in subsequent criminal proceedings. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as a matter of fact, this provision is meant to borrow from other jurisdictions that have similar statutes such as South Africa and Ireland. Except that in those jurisdictions, the rider which provides that, that evidence may be adduced in civil cases does not exist. So this amendment is meant to delete that proviso that requires that this evidence be adduced in civil litigation although it is stopped from being used in criminal cases. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this amendment is well-intended. The estoppel should apply generally."
