    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, taking cue from where the Member has left, I oppose the clause because the original Committee’s amendment is saving the public officer from that position of conflict of interest, where we have to wait for you not to influence. We are stopping you from tendering. We are stopping you beforehand. We are telling you that you cannot have your cake and eat it. The amendment of hon. Langat is killing that. We are, therefore, saying “business as usual”. Scandals are made from officers being in positions of conflict. We are trying to stop that and that is what this legislation is all about. Finally, even if the original Committee’s amendment does not pass, and I hope it does, you are not out of the woods. Even currently, remember how many people, sometimes with their children and friends, have been charged. There is the Public Officers Ethics Act and so, whoever is thinking that you can get crooked ways, the people of Kenya will still get you. I beg to oppose the amendment."
