• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Erick Munyao Ngumbi established that Kenya indeed has in place some legal framework for lifestyle audits. Some of those frameworks include those Acts that have been cited or that have been referred to in this Bill by Sen. Farhiya, including the wealth declaration approach which is in the Public Officer Ethics Act, the Unexplained Assets Framework that is in the Anti-Corruption and Economics Crimes Act, and the issue of monitoring of bank accounts held outside Kenya that is provided for in the Leadership and Integrity Act. Mr. Erick Munyao Ngumbi also identified other frameworks which could be developed to ... view

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: monitoring of bank accounts and assets held outside Kenya. As a researcher tells us, some of these frameworks are well documented and well refined, but the problem is on implementation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the last few days, I have been spending sometime at Strathmore University, having conversation with faculty on issues to do with public policy management. The question has been, we are not short of laws. Sen. Farhiya has a Bill--- view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the researcher proposes a Public Officer Lifestyle and Wealth Audit Bill. He proposes that the Bill should not just address lifestyle audit, but the issue of wealth declaration so that we tighten it, make it practical and remove the anonymity that goes with it. I believe that in his report, the recommendations will be there. I had earlier offered to hand over the report to you, so that you can see what people in the intellectual community have to say around this issue. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was on the point that certain conversations are ongoing at the Strathmore University, where the question is: why do policies fail in Kenya? Why is it that the town plan of Kuala Lumpur was based on the plan of Kenya’s capital city, yet Nairobi is a mess? Why is it that Singapore based a number of their policies on Kenya’s policies, back in the 1960s, yet Kenya is stuck? Why is it that the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) is thriving, yet it was based on the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) which is stuck? Why is ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: It is emerging that sometimes we design policies and legislation in a manner in which implementation becomes impossible and troublesome. I believe that Sen. Farhiya has done a lot of consultation. This issue has attracted a lot of interest from Members in this House. When we legislate on this Bill, let us have a tool that will be effectively used to fight corruption. Let us not have a tool that will be weaponized. Let us not have another toll station that beyond the usual Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers, you have an additional process of lifestyle audit. In the ... view

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that the final version of this Bill will clarify and simplify that process by reducing the toll stations that are involved in the fight against corruption. Nowadays, if they want to fix you depending on your political views or activism, you can have a lot of people knocking on your door. There will be an investigative agency after you every other day, drawing its mandate from certain laws that Parliament has passed. When a Member of Parliament (MP) is on the spot, he will be reminded at every turn that they are the ones ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: We should find a way of using technology to assess lifestyle. The KRA has invested in a data warehouse out of which they are doing serious business intelligence. They are linking up with utility companies and all sorts of transaction providers in the economy. They are able to tell the kind of financial activities that you are undertaking. The only question is whether it is strictly legal. The other question is whether within the KRA Act and the statutes that establish the KRA they have the power to do that investigation and use that information to pursue people in a ... view
