    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Bill also speaks to the issue of the kind of information that a public officer gives to a member of the public who is expecting service. Clause 8 talks about a public officer who intentionally misleads a member of the public. That clause says that a public officer shall not give information to the public that he knows to be inaccurate. We know of situations where public officers have intentionally misled Kenyans to believe that something is about to happen, but which is not true. This Bill ties public officers to honesty so that whatever information they give to the people is accurate and beneficial to the person. Clause 10 is about general application of the law, under sub- clause 1, while sub-clause 2 is about the principle of exemptions to the general rule. The general rule is to ensure that public officers are appointed and promoted on the basis of fair competition and merit."
