    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on Sessional Paper No.2 of 2018 on the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Policy. This Policy addresses pertinent issues that make the fight against corruption very difficult. Any organisation requires a policy. The policy is a strategy done at the highest level of the institution. So, we want to appreciate the work done by this Committee by coming up with a policy that addresses the issues that make the fight against corruption in this country difficult. There have been issues in this institution that have made the fight against corruption in this country difficult. The cases are being challenged because of lack of evidence. The cases that have been taken to court have never got the right information. So, having a policy will address the issues that make the fight against corruption difficult. Secondly, the purpose of the Policy is to allow the flow of information in any institution. I thank the Committee for giving guidelines on how information will flow in this institution. That is the importance of the Policy. Without a policy to guide who will be responsible for what, who will be communicating to the public and the role of the Director and the Board, it will be difficult. Unless we have such kind of a policy to guide the flow of information, we cannot have a good institution. The Policy sets a general plan for action used to guide desired outcomes. In every institution, there is a desired outcome and we expect this institution to come up with outcomes that will make us allocate it more resources. We have given a lot of money to these institutions, so that we can get good outcomes and payback. I support the Committee for coming up with this Report. Finally, the Policy provides a roadmap for operations. When there is confusion, the institution cannot run well. So, this Policy has given a roadmap to guide on how the operations will be done in the anti-corruption institution. I support the Motion."
