Clause 25 which sought to remove restrictions on Kenyans seeking to access information on the wealth of top Kenyan State officials, including the President and his deputy is proposed to be dropped, after fresh amendments to a proposed law on lifestyle audits. Senator Farhiya Ali Haji, who sponsored the Lifestyle Audit Bill, has sought deletion of the clause. Currently, every two years public officers declare their wealth but the information remains confidential and accessible to only those in pursuit of public.
The earlier proposed version required that the self-declared wealth declaration forms be made available to the public through a website or in an unrestricted database hosted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The Bill is expected to be approved on June 17th before the Senate adjourns indefinitely to pave the way for the August 9 General Election.
