It is not for lack of legislation that our country is embroiled in this mess of corruption. Sen. Farhiya has decided to complement some of these laws that have so far not worked for lack of implementation or enforcement. She is providing yet another piece of legislation that will perhaps offer another avenue that will encourage us to be a bit more careful. This is really a welcome initiative in this House and for the country. I am sure that Sen. Farhiya will be remembered for having the guts to try and do something about the non-enforcement of the laws that already exist that abound. Madam Temporary Speaker, in 2008, the EACC took a certain financial controller to court for precisely this kind of thing. The gentleman earned Kshs306,000 per month, but if I remember correctly, he had seven houses, four plots and six bank accounts, one of which was in London. Therefore, the EACC took him to court before Judge Kalpana Rawal, if I remember correctly. I do not remember the details, but that was thrown out because of some technicality – I do not remember the details - that the EACC required him to explain the source of the wealth."
