    "content": "My concern is that this section is very lenient. It will only be painful to the low income earners, namely, the commoners. I am imagining of the high level barons who can use their positions given where we are going in this country, towards a very important phase where we have individuals who may have financed, perpetrated or even promoted the violence that was precipitated by the disputed Presidential elections of 2007. If a person has a network and a machinery and causes the staff working under this Agency not to execute their responsibilities and you are just saying that we just fine them Kshs500,000, I think we need to have an opening where such fines can be a little bit on a higher ceiling or a flexibility created such that it can be very heavy. The Kshs500,000 will be peanuts to those who may enjoy impunity and who have enjoyed it. Finally, I want to talk about the appointees. I was in this House when we passed the list of the Commissioners of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). If I recollect well, and this has been shared by some of our colleagues, sometimes when you want some of these things to happen, we rush them very quickly. I would like to advise the Attorney-General that before the appointments are concluded, even if they are going to be brought before this House, to create public awareness. I have seen a deliberate effort not to create consciousness about lists being tabled in the House."
