    "content": "This area as important as it is, has been done haphazardly in the past. Sen. Orengo has outlined fully throughout the Bill what areas need improvement and which areas are quite clear based on his experience and also as senior counsel. So, I will not go into that. Mine is to encourage Kenyans to embrace this lifestyle audit once this Bill has become law. This is because it is very friendly and makes it easy for people to be accountable. It has areas that make the process confidential. It gives you notice of even seven days with clearly outlined reasons for the audit. You do not have anything to fear if you are clear in your mind that you have not stolen from the public. It has been very confusing out there and a lot of mistrust on this process. This is because people are not sure whether they will be charged unfairly or with malice. Clause 7 (2) says: “An investigating body shall in making an application under sub clause (1) specify the grounds on which the application is made and if material relevant to the lifestyle audit is likely to be found on the premises.” So, they do not just get out and search your premises. There must be grounds that say that the material that is relevant to that investigation is in that premise. Once a search warrant is issued, it must contain grounds for the conduct of a lifestyle audit, the name of the public or State officer and the address of the premises to be searched. We do not want to see people searching in our relatives’ The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
