• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, technologies such as artificial intelligence and block chain are some of the most effective contemporary means that can be applied to prevent, disrupt and, therefore, minimize corruption besides the traditional methods that have yielded results over time. Funds should, therefore, be set aside for the acquisition of these promising and emerging technologies within the ambit of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Madam Temporary Speaker, grand infrastructural projects offer opportunities to engage in corruption. This is due to the involvement of a relatively large number of people, particularly the professionals involved in the conception, design, feasibility studies, Environmental ... view

• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: There are three tools that have been identified that would be very germane in the fight against corruption. These include but are not limited to law enforcement – the rule of law – prevention and community education on the fight against corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is also important to speak to the issue of the APNAC. This is a caucus that was established in 1999, and it is a successor to the Parliamentary Select Committee of the 10th Parliament with regards to the fight against corruption. The African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) has been in existence for the ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: The APNAC has participated in ensuring that Kenya was the first country to sign the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). It also, among other little wins, stopped the corrupt Prime Minister of Malaysia from addressing an anti-corruption conference way back in 2015. He was later on deposed by Mahathir Mohamad after public outcry. Madam Temporary Speaker, recently, we had a meeting with the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC), which is a product of APNAC, through proposed legislation that hon. Musikari Kombo tabled on the list of shame. Going through the deliberations of this Conference, which was illuminating and ... view

• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Beyond the rule of law, which is increasingly becoming a safe haven for would be looters, there is self discipline and supervision. In fact, this example speaks to the idea around political formations that also have anchoring political ideologies. Part of the success of China, which Hong Kong is part of, is because they have a centenary plan, which has enabled them to rise to become the second-largest economy after United States of America (USA). In fact, my take is that they may be ahead of USA in many instances. Therefore, looking at the case of Hong Kong, which is ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: We need to interrogate further and unpack because most of the proceeds of crime end up also influencing power play, especially around elections. Therefore, it is important on one hand to have the rule of law, but also, these laws should reflect the pathos, ethos and nuances of the aspirations of our people if we are to fight against corruption. Why is it that when people are arraigned by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) they always get people who stand up to say it is their son or daughter being attacked? It is because of the collegiate ownership of ... view
