    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I go to the specific provisions of this Bill, I want to say that many Kenyans--- Fortunately, I realized early enough – last year – that we were let down by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). Even though there is nothing wrong with activism, but it is very wrong to have a negative activist in charge of fighting corruption. The person we have in this body is a letdown. I noticed it very early and some people warned me when I said that this guy is a con. We have actually been conned as a country, because we have put a wrong person in position of responsibility. Many peopled asked me: “Mbadi, do you know that this person can take you to court?” I said: “I have not stolen, I will not steal and he will not take me anywhere.” The only public money I handle is the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). I said that let him go to Gwassi and carry out his work, but I believe that he is not doing a good job. Now you can see for yourselves. Which kind of Director of KACC demonstrates in the streets, instead of investigating mega corruption? The reason we removed Ringera was because we felt he disappointed us in fighting Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing and other similar kind of corrupt activities. We put him in office and pay him handsomely, more than double what I earn, and what we see is him flashing Kshs100,000 attempted bribe. How on earth can the Director of KACC even organize a fundraising? That is very serious. The Public Officer Ethics Act is very clear that you are not supposed to organize or participate in the organization of a fundraising and yet, he went ahead to organize for a fundraising, invited people and then claimed that the cheque he was given is a bribe. This is the case and yet he does not even show us how this bribe came about. Is it a deal that went sour? My friend has lost it."
