• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: role. The givers in corrupt practices are from the private sector and the takers are in the public sector. So, corruption originates from the private sector. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Bribery Bill specifically deals with the fight against corruption in the private sector. It criminalises bribery by persons in the private sector. Offences of bribery and corruption have mainly been targeting the public sector, but the inducement emanates from the private sector. So, this Bill gives specific requirements to the private sector entities to put in place the procedure of prevention of bribery. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Who bribes a police officer? It is private citizens. If a matatu driver does not give money to a police officer, no bribery will take place. In fact, an amendment must be brought to the law that the proceeds of bribery must be forfeited to the State. For example, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you pay a penalty for every traffic crime you commit. You do not pay the penalty on the spot, but the day you go to renew your driving licence, get an insurance policy or you want to leave the country, at the airport, you are ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: In addition, this Bill creates a legal obligation for every person who becomes aware of any incident of bribery to report the matter to the EACC. When the President assents to this law, every citizen who becomes aware of a bribery taking place must report it. It is an obligation. The Bill also intends to provide for an effective coordination and accountability framework in the investigation and prosecution for acts of bribery. So, this is the genesis of this Bill. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Part I of the Bill deals with preliminary issues which is the citation of the Act and the interpretation. Most of these definitions exist. There are a number of definitions in this Bill which already exist in the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act. Corruption is defined to include bribery, embezzlement and fraud in the provisions of that Act. If somebody is involved in fraud and he wants to marry a beautiful lady, if in the end she goes to Hon. Nyenze through some fraud, I do not know whether that is corruption. We need to define it. I am not ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 3 of the Bill relates to the implementation of this Act. It provides that the EACC shall be responsible. Let me talk about the EACC. It is getting murky every day. We cannot believe it. I have served in Parliament for a long time and I had the opportunity to participate in the recruitment of Mr. PLO Lumumba, who went after two years. I had the opportunity to participate in the recruitment of Mr. Mumo Matemu, Ms. Irene Keino and Ms. Jane Onsongo, who went after nine months. What we are seeing in the EACC is like a movie. ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: investigate corruption that is going on at the Garissa livestock market and in the miraa business in Meru. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Today, we are told that the wife of the Chairman of the EACC received over Kshs300 million from the NYS. So, corruption is the theatre of the absurd in our country. Clause 3 relates to the implementation of the Act and provides that the EACC shall be responsible for its enforcement. We are making a law for the EACC. The earlier the better, the Commission should put its house in order because it is also supposed to implement, among other issues, the Anti- corruption and Economic Crimes Act. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 4 relates to the application of the Act and provides that it shall abide to public entities and offices and to private entities. So, it is now both public and private officers and their entities. The clause contains a proviso which empowers the Cabinet Secretary by notice in the Gazette Notice, to limit or extend the application of this Act or parts of it to specific public or private entity. That is food for thought for this august House. The CS, in my opinion, should not have powers to gazette certain or parts of it. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Part II of the Bill deals with general bribery offences. This part creates offences of giving and receiving bribes. It also talks about who receives and gives bribes and how you make a determination as to who carries more offence than the other. For example, if Hon. Nyenze gives me a bribe to influence a decision in this House, do I carry the same penalty as him, the originator? I am not saying Hon. Nyenze wants to bribe me because he is a man of God. I am told he is a pastor’s son and he cannot deny it. That ... view
