• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support the Motion I, however, does so with reservations because one of my greatest concerns… I have looked at the Report and indeed taken into account that a key ground for the Committee in terms of what we were presented with in the House for consideration is that Cabinet approved it. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Looking through and recognising that we do have only one institution the National Anti- corruption Academy that was set up through the Ministry of Education, in the Report, the only information that we get is that it was established seemingly because there was no such other institution. However, we do not see that despite the clear recognition that corruption is indeed a key problem. It is not presenting us, for example, with a new curriculum other than what has been existing to date in that particular institution that deals with anti-corruption strategies. It is not clear whether we have had ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, as we look at this, it begs the issue that even if we were to consider that getting into the international anti-corruption academy will provide Kenya with an opportunity to share and come up with best practices, I am not clear what exactly we are going to be taking from Kenya because this does not seem to have come through. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I am concerned because as I look at the programme, I had a chance to look a little bit at the curriculum of the International Anti-corruption Academy module. I see that the module is indeed very useful in the sense that, if we look at it, we see that the module takes into account issues that are pertinent such as causes and motivations of corruption practices. Most importantly, there is a module that looks at specifics of culture and values and looks in particular at the way in which we need to look at the major compliance risks. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is clearly indicated that the key risks range from gifts to hospitality and procurement to conflicts of interest. When I consider the kind of menace and cancer of corruption that we have, we can see that there is a second name that if you mention corruption, you are going to find procurement, donations and gifts in institutions that are seen to be of moral backing such as the religious institutions and churches. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I look at this Motion, I am of the view that the benefits that the Committee is telling us we will get would require that from the perspective of the Committee, we get a lot more grounding and better understanding of the particular contextual challenges that are surrounding corruption in Kenya. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The module seeks to ensure that our students, if they were to go from Kenya to join the other students from the globe, will need to not only to bring experiences from Kenya, but would be expected to be those who would provide interactive engagements. They would be those that would be seen to have thought through how it is that they would deal with the different institutions and be in a position to know what to do when things go wrong. In other words, when we will talk about corruption, when we will introduce institutions such as the National ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I support the Motion, I just want to also agree because I notice the Chair and the Seconder indicated that there would be a lot of lessons learnt. I wanted just by conclusion The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: to highlight that I recently had an opportunity to visit China and I did this under the banner of Parliamentarians against Corruption. There were key lessons that were learnt and which I hope that as we look at this Motion, we in the National Assembly will see that it is going to be of benefit in addressing this important issue. We should recognise that part of what enables programmes that address issues of corruption to be handled should not be limited to education, students’ research and sharing different experiences and practices. Most importantly, it is to look at the economic ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I would like to say that in China, a key reason that seems to help is the commitment of the people of China… But most importantly, it is the manner in which the Communist Party of China was driving paramount framework of anti-corruption activities. As I support, I urge that corruption is not something we are going to solve through education in the classroom. We also need to get out to the political arena. I certainly would want to see a key stakeholder that is political parties coming in. If we do not get the political parties ... view
