    "content": "The EACC is a statutory body with a constitutional mandate. The procedure we have put in pace is that somebody will be given a notice; there will be an opportunity for someone to come and explain so that we can know the miracles involved; how come you are in an office where you are earning Kshs200,000, but you have assets and wealth which is beyond even the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) who earns Kshs3 million per month. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not right. We must be honest to ourselves and be in a country where, you should acquire your wealth in a lawful manner so that we do not make our children to think that some of us are very lazy. We want fairness. If you have acquired your money in a manner that you can explain, let us know so that we make you a study case. We will send you to colleges so that you explain to our own children the miracles that you have used to acquire wealth that you cannot account for. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should discourage people. Even if you build a house which has 14 bedrooms, you can only sleep in one bedroom on any given day. In a night, you only need one bedroom. You do not need homes. In a county, you find that somebody has built homes in four constituencies using money that has been illegally acquired. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to rest my case by saying that I fully support this Bill. I hope that once it is enacted, we will have assisted this country in fighting corruption and ensuring that there is accountability from those who are serving in public offices. I support."
