    "content": "I looked at Clause 13 regarding the removal of a member of the Tribunal. One of the conditions which were given for removal under (b) is if one is convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. However, I ask myself - and I will be seeking clarification - suppose you are charged in court with a serious criminal offence and are convicted, not to imprisonment, but to a fine of Ksh5 million and you pay? Does it now make you clean because you paid a fine and, therefore, you continue working? What does it imply? I also invite colleagues to look at this. If for any reason you are charged with a criminal offence in court, you are found guilty and convicted but the conviction is not custodial... You are fined Ksh5 million, you pay, go home and continue working. You cannot be removed. That is what this law is saying. It is important that, that is revisited. We should look at this in the Committee of the whole House and improve this part of this Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
