The bill, one of the key legislations the president is keen on getting passed will see government office holders and their immediate families blocked from securing business with government.

The move is in a bid to bolster the fight against systemic corruption and open up more opportunities for genuine businesses to do business with government.

The bill comes at a time when the president has commissioned a pending bills verification committee, the head of state promising that the government will pay all pending bills within the set out timelines.
