    "content": "Kiharu, JP): Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Allow me to start with issues that are not very contentious. First of all, I agree with the amendments as far as the Tourism Act is concerned because it is just a matter to do with semantics. These are the key things we should be handling in the miscellaneous amendments by including universities. Previously, we only had Utalii College offering this kind of training, but now we have institutions burgeoning and many universities are offering courses in the tourism sector. I also want to side with many speakers before me who have spoken against amending the Public Finance Management Act (PFM) Act. The major problem we have in this country, especially in fighting corruption is to know where to lay responsibility. It is said that what belongs to everyone belongs to no one. Therefore, by introducing more parties, especially in so far as PAC is concerned in terms of the accounting officers… I do not think we need layers and layers of bureaucracy and people who should be answering the difficult questions. On the Kenya School of Law, I do not think it is right for us to give monopoly to one institution to admit. For a long time, probably, the Kenya School of Law has been usurping powers, especially those of the Council of Legal Education (CLE). Therefore, opening it up for people to be trained in other institutions other than the Kenya School of Law is a timely thing."
