    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want, in supporting the Attorney-General, to state as follows: If we delete Sections 26, 27 and 28 of this anti-corruption law, we are in essence killing the soul of the anti-corruption law. As hon. Karua said, it will be tantamount to repealing the law. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although there is apparent jubilation in Parliament today, this is a very sad moment for our anti-corruption efforts. This morning, there was a Motion that was fronted by an hon. Member of the Opposition in which the Government was being accused of not following its anti-corruption crusade. This afternoon, a law is being suggested, which is actually going to annul the anti-corruption law for all intents and purposes. It is not correct that if, as Minister for Lands, I become rich in one month and I am told to explain how I have got my wealth, I will be judged guilty because the mere fact of appearing before the KACC to give evidence does not in itself make you guilty as if you have gone before a court of law. So, what hon. Kajwang said is not correct because the KACC is not a court. It does not adjudge you either guilty or innocent."
