    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that The Lifestyle Audit (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bills No. 21 of 2019) be now read a second time. Madam Temporary Speaker, what gave me the idea of coming up with this Bill is when His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta said that all public officers should undergo lifestyle audits in 2018. There was a lot of response to that saying that there is no legal framework. As a result, I have a friend who works in the United Kingdom (UK), and I asked if there was a legal framework of such nature. That was in 2018, and it took a long time and thorough thinking in terms of the process. I asked the person to send me the legal framework. We cannot implement some of those issues in our country because we still have a long way in terms of how we fight it. However, we implemented some of them. Before I continue, Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to thank the Directorate of Legal Services, because they continuously assist us. They have a lot of knowledge and do a lot of research. I could not come up with such a detailed and thorough Bill without their support. Therefore, from the outset, I wish to thank them. Madam Temporary Speaker, then main object of the Bill is to put into place a legal framework for undertaking lifestyle audits on public officers. In creating this legal framework, the Bill seeks to incorporate the values and principles of governance under Article 10 and Chapter Six of the Constitution into the public service. 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."
