    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Clause 17 appears to create whistle blowers; people who can go and lodge a complaint. You should also encourage whistle blowers, but also make it difficult for vindictive whistle blowers. The fact that you have bought a parcel of land and build a good house is no reason for your neighbour to go and complain that you be frozen. I will also help draft something to share with you on how the public can report and the consequences of reporting falsely. Those who are genuine will make reports; the Omtatahs of this world who have risen as serious public defenders. There are also those frivolous and wicked ones who will not want to see anybody have anything. They would want to go to court and report. We should also have a situation where such a person is put on notice; that if what you are telling us turns out to be false, then there are consequences. Every choice has an attendant consequence. Madam Temporary Speaker, the deferred prosecution agreement is good, especially when dealing with large corporates. I am happy with what the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) did with the National Youth Service (NYS) case and the banks. You can imagine a situation where the Managing Directors (MDs) of the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Co-operative Bank, Equity and Standard Chartered Bank are all hauled into the courts because of money from NYS by the likes of who we know – who are now running around looking whiter than cotton – if such money entered the bank 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."
