    "content": "this. I thank my sister because she has even gone to the extent of finding out from other countries how they came up with such a Bill. In Part 3, this Bill provides that cases that will be deferred will be directed to the ODPP. However, this is the area which must be looked into clearly. As it stands right now, there are very many cases that have been taken to the ODPP as well and they have never seen the light of day. I know there are cases of corruption in maize. Sometimes back, we were told that some Kshs18 billion was stolen that was otherwise supposed to be paid to the farmers. In any case, you even mentioned the cases of the Ngiritas and nothing has come out of it. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are other cases that have gone to this particular body - the list is endless - but then nothing has come out of it. Those are the cases that may take a long time to prosecute. Such are the cases which may otherwise require a lot of money to investigate. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said that these are the very lucrative ones which will even escape prosecution because of the fact that they have got money to buy their way. Our major challenge in this country is that despite the very many bodies that we have--- We even have Chapter Six of the Constitution. She even gave an example of an officer who must be vetted on his conduct before employment. When an officer is in office, they must conduct themselves in a manner that befits a public officer. Article 75 (2) of the Constitution which states that- “A person who contravenes Clause 1 or Article 76, 77 or 78 (2) shall be subject to the applicable disciplinary procedure for the relevant office.” How many officers have been prosecuted for abusing office? The answer is none, yet there are many of them."
