"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is an economic crime. There is a wide distinction between economic crime and corruption. They are not the same. Even the statutes we have in place contain a distinction between economic crimes and corruption. I am trying to say that these proposals leave lot of that in the other guidelines and qualification found under the Chapter on Leadership and Integrity. I would rather that you refer to the Chapter on Leadership and Integrity, or if you want it to be translocated to the Bill, then repeal it in its entirety, so that nobody will have a basis. My second position is this part (i) which says: âNot violated any provisions of the Constitution or any written law.â I was just picking on any statute, like the one on the sale of goods. There is a provision about performance of a contract; in that law you are under certain duties. If you violate that law, which is simply a civil contract, you will be judged on the basis of a matter which is quite foreign to what the Chapter on Leadership and Integrity is all about. I do not think that anybody will qualify, because even good judges break contracts. We need to clean it up together with the language. Part (iii) talks about honesty in dealings; the word âdealingsâ is not very articulate in statutes. What is âdealingâ? I have a little problem with that. You are better off saying that you must comply with the Chapter on Leadership and Integrity, and leave it there; or, if you want full compliance with that chapter, you have to faithfully reflect on everything that is contained in that chapter."
