• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, taking cue from where the Member has left, I oppose the clause because the original Committee’s amendment is saving the public officer from that position of conflict of interest, where we have to wait for you not to influence.

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that this amendment is regrettable and ought to be opposed. What really Clauses 40(1)(2) are doing is putting an obligation on any public entity to which one belongs professionally to forward the information to the relevant authority. If I am a lawyer and I have been dis-barred by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), they should forward that information. You know, they are talking of a fair administrative procedure.

You will recall that we are enjoined by the Constitution to make a freedom of information Act. Any justifiable exceptions will come under that Act after we properly analyze it.
