I was looking at the mandates of EACC. One is to raise public awareness on ethical issues. This is something they have not been doing. As the new CEO comes on board, he should focus heavily on raising public awareness on ethical issues and the secretariat must be vetted. I remember last time I brought an amendment on the EACC Bill that was here. The rot is in the secretariat. They should be vetted so that we can have new Members who have a positive attitude when it comes to the fight against corruption. I thank you. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of the conditional grants is in agriculture. You must understand where I am coming from. Maize is agriculture and this is as per the conditional grant.

Some of the Standing Orders the Members are raising are immaterial. They are wasting time. It must be of significance. You cannot say I said the word “equal”. I said “cascading”.
