    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on behalf of the Departmental Committee of Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act be amended- (d) By deleting the proposed Section 12A. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there are two reasons which informed the Committee's decision to make this amendment. First, that particular section - Section 12A - is actually superfluous. It is superfluous because if you look at the existing Act, Section 12A Sub- section (a), it clearly provides that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) may, in the performance of its functions, work in co-operation with any other persons or bodies it may think appropriate and, it \"shall\" - not \"may\" - be the duty of any such person or bodies to accord the Commission every co-operation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that section goes up to the end - Sub-section 3. Among those bodies that are mandatorily required to co-operate is the Commissioner of Police, as well as the Office of the Attorney-General. The amendment as proposed by the Attorney-General, which is appearing on page 1350, actually intends to take away the powers of the Attorney-General and the Commissioner of Police, both being constitutional office holders, through an Act of Parliament. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move, and wish to request hon. Marende to second."
