    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. For the same reason that my colleague on the other side is asking for the clause to be deleted, I actually say that we need this clause. After the passing of the 2003 Public Officer Ethics Act, we omitted to put a clause for making public the declaration of wealth. It failed to put a mechanism for tracking an individual’s wealth. That is the lacuna addressed by the Constitution and which we are now addressing in this law, unless we want corruption to continue. The Kenya Anti-corruption Commission was unable to get anywhere with the scandals that came up because the declarations were secret. This is the law to make those declarations public so that we can catch anybody milking a cow that is not his."
