    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to one of the most important Bills that the 11th Parliament is going to pass, namely, the Bribery Bill. Bribery is synonymous to corruption because it leads to corruption. As mentioned by other speakers before me, for bribery and corruption to take place, there must be a giver and taker. There has been a general belief that most corruption, and by extension bribery, takes place in the public sector. However, those who have been driving the forces of corruption are in the private sector. These are the people who induce and facilitate corruption in this country. Corruption has caused untold suffering in various sectors of our economy including the manufacturing sector. Kenyans consume low quality products because of corruption. Certain ingredients that should be put in a final product are not added because people want to reduce the cost of production and increase their profit margins. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, certain components of certain medicines are not added because of corruption. The consumer does not get full quality of the final product."
