"content": "I watched a programme on television on the day before yesterday in which the issue of the ownership of Kenol/Kobil featured prominently. I hope that nobody will force me to substantiate because the issue was discussed publicly. In that discussion, it was said that Nicholas Biwott is the one who owns that company. What was being discussed relates to the problems of fuel pricing and shortages. I believe that he got those interests when he was the Minister for Energy. So, even if somebody declares his interest, there must be some penalties to be levied against him, if it is discovered later that he lied. If we only say that one must declare his interests, if any, in a matter before the Commission, and that he shall not, unless the Commission otherwise directs, take part in any consideration or discussion or vote on any question touching such matter, such a person will go out of the meeting but he will already be having the business. You do not have to be in the meeting that is discussing such a matter in order for you to get the business. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that the criteria by which remuneration shall be determined should be very clear. They are generalised in this Bill, but they should be very specific. Section 13(1)(b) of the Bill states:- â13(1)(b) The Commission shall take any measures it considers necessary to ensure that in the harmonisation of salaries and remunerations, equity and fairness is achieved in the public sector.â"
