    "content": "(ii) The ratification of the instrument will not offend the Constitution of Kenya. In fact, it promotes Article 10 on national values and principles of good governance and Chapter 6 on leadership and integrity. (iii) The current fight against corruption has been hampered by lack of coordination of all agencies involved in the fight against corruption. (iv) The ratification of the Agreement and establishment of this body as an international organization will impact positively on the fight against corruption. The Committee is thankful to the offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the support accorded to it during the sittings. The Committee wishes to thank all the stakeholders for their participation in the approval process. Finally, I wish to express my appreciation to members of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for their useful contributions during the Committee proceedings in fulfillment of the Committee’s mandate, and to the secretariat for exemplary technical and logistical support. With those remarks, therefore, I beg to move that this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of the instrument for ratification of the Agreement for the Establishment of the International Anti-Corruption Academy as an international organization and pursuant to Section 8 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012, approves the ratification of the Agreement for the establishment of the International Anti-Corruption Academy as an international organization. It will benefit the country. I want to request Members that let us support this particular Motion. It is going to help our country to fight corruption. I would like to request Hon. George Murugara, who is a member of the Committee, to second. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
