    "content": "The second issue concerns bribery in the private sector. We are in a liberalised private sector oriented society. If we continue having situations where our laws only target the State, we will not be modern people. We will not be taking into consideration the current realities of life. Why do I say so? Take, for instance, the media sector. We all know the percentage being controlled by the public broadcaster. Safaricom Limited is the leading corporation in this country in the ICT sector and other platforms in that sector. That story goes on in most of the other sectors. Therefore, we need a law that will target corruption in the private sector. This is a very good law because it captures corruption involving private sector corporations which are so huge that they have acquired a character of public companies, their ownerships notwithstanding. Those corporations are privately owned but they have taken a character of a public company by virtue of the number of employees and the impact they have on the society. An example is Safaricom Company. This Bill has brought in that new dimension, which is very progressive."
