    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended - (a) By deleting the proposed amendment to Section 30. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Section 30 states:- \"That the contents of the declaration or clarification under this Act, shall be accessible to any person upon application to the responsible commission. No information obtained pursuant to Sub-section 1 shall be published or in any way made public except by prior written authority of the responsible commission.\" 3938 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we are going to bring this amendment, it means that the right of one's privacy will never be respected. That one can only be done if you apply through the courts. We feel that, that information should only be released to the public when somebody goes to court and declares interest as to why he wants to know what property I own. Again, even when you are sick and they know that you are sick, somebody who wants to know about your sickness must go to court because it is supposed to be private. Some of these human beings in Kenya are polygamous. If you are going to allow anybody to access my property, what about those wives that I have hidden the information from? Are you suggesting that they should all know what properties I have? How is my privacy going to be guarded? So, I stand to say that we delete that Section. I beg to move."
