    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Senators who have contributed to this Bill and made far-reaching recommendations. At the end of this debate, I will request the HANSARD team to print for me all the contributions that were made to this Bill, so that the Bill can be improved. I am open to improving the Bill. However, I do not want it to be diluted in such a way that it is not better than all the other Bills that we had. Corruption needs to be fought. This Bill will benefit even the corrupt. Corruption is rampant not only in the Government, but in private companies as well. I am shocked that the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) did not request to make amendments to this Bill. I hope that they will forward their amendments to this Bill because employees continue to steal from employers and do business with the stolen money. There is no end to corruption. Corruption keeps on mutating every other time. I once attended a conference where members of different boards were being inducted. An official from the EACC said that corruption keeps mutating. In reply, I told the EACC official that if they do not also mutate their ideas in such a way that they are ahead of the corrupt individuals, then the taxpayers are wasting their money on the EACC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for seconding this Bill. Other Senators who gave far-reaching recommendations are Sen. Pareno, Sen. Kang’ata, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, Sen. Mugo, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, Sen. Omogeni, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, Sen. Ochillo- Ayacko, Sen. Halake, the Senate Minority Leader,Sen. Orengo, Sen. Were, Sen. Wetangula and finally Sen. M. Kajwang. I welcome all the recommendations they made. One of the questions that was posed is: Since statutes cannot apply retrospectively, what ideas are there for people who were previously corrupt? I hope to receive recommendations from Members and stakeholders on what can be done to individuals who were previously corrupt. Recommendation was also made---"
