Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I was saying, I am also opposed to amendment "b" which is inserting the words "relating to corruption and economic crime" immediately after the words "investigation of offences." The Criminal Procedure Code, the Evidence Act and the Police Act do not in themselves confer investigation and powers into ... view

That is what we are saying. We are not saying, by any stretch of imagination, that just because they are enjoying similar powers, the KACC is, therefore, going to investigate murder cases and other types of criminal activities. We are just saying that the powers that are enjoyed by the police should also be enjoyed by the KACC. When we introduce this phraseology there, ... view

• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment. This is for reasons that were stated when we were opposing Section 27. But also the fact that the initial application is ex parte . This is for a purpose. If you remove the ex parte position and substitute therefor it will give the parties notice.
