    "content": "We also have cases where people trade in offices where they are supposed to serve which is not supposed to be the case. Some people also use proxies so as to trade in those offices. Others keep money in the accounts of their daughters, sons or wives. Therefore, this Bill ought to have a Clause that will follow up, not only on the officer, but also the extended family. Madam Temporary Speaker, another challenge that may affect this Bill is that it may be used to prosecute people selectively. For example, the poor may end up suffering. As my colleagues have said, in most cases, Bills that could have cured issues of corruption in this country are normally applied to the poor. The poor people who steal little money are jailed and suffer more than those who steal billions of money. Therefore, this Bill must not only affect the poor or those that are politically incorrect. If you look at trends, some corrupt people are allowed to go scot-free while others are prosecuted. 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."
