• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, government positions are not intended to enrich anybody. Such positions offer stable jobs, but remuneration in such position the world over are not intended to enrich people. Governments create environment where individuals in private sector can invest and accumulate as much wealth as they can. What happens in a nation like ours and other nations, is that we keep on seeing public officials getting richer than the Government itself. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: If you are a livestock keeper and you notice that your herd-person has more milk than yourself yet that person does not have any livestock, you must be a fool if you fail to question where that person is getting his or her milk. This Bill intends to rid the Government of predatory public servants view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the herd-person can buy milk from the shops, but should be in a position to give evidence that they bought milk from the shop using their own money and not stolen money. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: In decent nations the world over, people who are wealthy declare it. They can prove what business they are involved in because they want to inspire others to get involved in such businesses. However, when you see public officials tripping over one another to get elected as president, MPs or occupy any position, there is an incentive that they do not say. Such people want to get the opportunity to abuse the trust that is bestowed upon them by the public and that is also bestowed upon them by God under the book of Romans where it is indicated that ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: We need to deal with lifestyle audit seriously. If being a public official is this rewarding, and that you can become wealthy and get away with it because there is no legal framework or mechanism to try you or hold you to account to explain the source of your wealth, then crime will be encouraged and facilitated because people will get away with it. Once I have served as a messenger, police officer or held a position of trust at the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: DCI or the EACC, I can get wealthy and nobody will have a legal mechanism of holding me to account to explain how I acquired that wealth. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I believe that in our war against corruption and in our attempt at achieving what the BBI report intends to achieve, we should start without waiting for any political settlement. By the time any legislation arises from the BBI report or any other initiative, this Bill will already be in place and that will be a plus. This Bill will help us solve some of the challenges that the nation faces. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to inform you that in the county where I come from, every public servant owns either a hotel or other businesses, and yet, we do not see services being rendered to our people. We do not have any mechanism or authority to try to find out what magic they have done to transform themselves from humble to wealthy people overnight. Many people may look at this piece of legislation as negative. However, for the first time, this piece of legislation will enable, for instance, you, Madam Temporary Speaker and I to proudly say what ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are certain instances where it is corporations and big businesses that have been charged. If you were to bring down, for instance, Safaricom and lock its leadership in jail, you may occasion unforeseen suffering to employees and the economy. You will remember there were issues of deferred prosecution in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal. Some banks were enablers of the loss of money, and they were compelled to pay fines and do certain things that would not enable thieving fellows to steal in future. To that extent, the public has been protected. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if the directors of these banks were to be locked in, then people like you and I and other innocent persons whose monies are there, may suffer unintended consequences of just bare and retributive prosecution. So, the civilized world of the West has deferred agreements in their pieces of legislation. My sister here has researched widely and seen the importance of having it in our legislation, so that the DPP is not given just a single mandate of trying to have people jailed. The DPP must be given the mandate of entering into agreements that might reinstate ... view
