    "content": "I am sure that the originators of this Motion have considered and examined the need for future leaders of this country and those from many other parts of the world who will come to benchmark in our international academy. They will see there is value to train, inculcate knowledge and experience in those who will be handling issues to do with anti-corruption. The EACC Act of 2011 and the Integrity and Leadership Act of 2012 clearly spells the need for institutions to understand that, anti-corruption is a strength this country’s legislation needs. This means that anti-corruption is something we are all ready to stand up for. This international institution or academy once it is established will ensure that people are well trained. Anti-corruption is something that is always in the ears and minds of many Kenyans. The reality is how to stop and handle it. It is another issue. For sure, we must have a starting point and one is to have an institution or academy to train people on how to handle that scourge. It will also contribute to our international relations. The community in other parts of the world will realise that Kenya is a serious country which is ready to institute the legal measures to avoid corruption. In the international world, they have established institutions that can understand the best way to train their personnel on matters that are against their legislation. This institution is critical and will be transferring knowledge to the future generation as well. I support this Motion because Kenya will have a name and will be seen as a country that is improving for the better. Kenya’s flag will fly higher on the international face. I support this Motion without adding much more because it is important and will contribute to our country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
