• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment because, as we all know, Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission is the premier body to investigate crimes under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act. All we are doing in Section 35(1) is to say that the responsible commission, which may be the Parliamentary Service Commission, the Judicial Service Commission and the Public Service Commission should be the responsible commission, in addition to Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. It may do "a", "b" and "c". So, really, it is to make the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission also do the work that is done by responsible commissions. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Each is different. But they are also similar in the sense that we are adding. In addition to the commission which is responsible for that, we are also saying the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission in all of them. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Apart from the very last one there: "Insert the new Sub-section!" view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended- (e) by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 35(2). It reads:- "An investigation may be made on the initiative of the responsible Commission or the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission or pursuant to a complaint by any person!" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that means that one person is going to be investigated by two commissions. If the Parliamentary Service Commission is investigating one of us and it has not concluded, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission can also start investigating. That is ... view

• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose the proposed amendment because the reason stated by the Mover is not what is in the proposal. The investigations may be carried out at the initiative of the responsible Commission. It does not say "and the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission." It says "or the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission." So, it is the alternative in this amendment for the reasons well-set-out by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, because sometimes you require to invest in the very Commissioners who are supposed to carry out an investigation, if they are employees. So, we require ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended- By deleting the proposed amendment to Section 35(3). Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the proposed amendment to Section 35(3) reads:- "Delete the word "Commission" and insert the words "responsible Commission or the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission." This is for the same reason because it is the Commission that employs you that is responsible for your character. Using the words "or the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission" is actually empowering the KACC to interfere with other commissions. I beg to move. view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose the proposed amendment for the reasons already stated. The same principle applies to all these. view

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, surely, if you are employed ... view
