    "content": " The Kshs500,000 has already been updated. We do not need to update it so far. I simply cannot see the logic of the second issue of payment within six months. The current law says the payment should be done within 30 days. I cannot see the logic why we would be saying, “Do not pay in 30 days; pay in six months”. This is an automatic deletion. Obviously, the fine does not arise because we have already provided for 30 days. The only thing that is convincing is whether we should be paying Kshs500,000 or Kshs1 million. I cannot see any case that has been brought as to move into that direction without encouraging the risky behaviour. I urge the House that we make that decision at the appropriate time because the Bill is now with us. It is no longer with the Mover. We would have asked him to withdraw it. The House will have to agree with the Committee that we reject this Bill in its entirety. I thank the Member for the efforts although they might end up with more risk to the Kenyan people who we, as a House, need to protect. With those words, I beg to oppose."
