    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the main problem that this House needs to address that the public is misunderstanding is the issue of vetting of State or public officers. I refuse to accept that during an electioneering period, you can subject the KACC to vet 500,000 Kenyans and the process be good. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 79 requires that an anti-corruption law be passed. We did that and there is the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. Whether it is dysfunctional or otherwise, that Commission does not require this Bill or Act to do its job. It needs to vet every Kenyan and nothing in law stops that Commission from taking one of us randomly and checking whether he or she conforms to issues of integrity. Chapter Six talks about integrity issues on individual Kenyans. I think this House and the Ministry of Education should immediately introduce a subject that talks about ethics and constitutionality in the syllabus of primary schools so that we grow a whole new generation of Kenyans who understand these issues and who grow up with the issues. We have a whole generation which grew up in this country under the Nyayo Era and they do not know any better."
