The Conflict of Interest Bill, 2023 was designed to curb corruption in public procurement.
The amendments passed by the Senate have completely undermined its initial purpose.
I am deeply disappointed by our senators who have effectively dismantled the Conflict of Interest Bill, 2023. This Bill was designed to curb corruption in public procurement and ensure that government officials do not exploit their positions for personal gain.
However, the amendments passed by the Senate have completely undermined its initial purpose, exposing the country to even greater risks of corruption and abuse of power.
