    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be further amended in clause 12 by inserting the following subsection- Section 54A of the principal Act is amended subsection (2) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- (b) not more than five per cent of the total proceeds recovered or realized from any property seized or forfeited to the Government, as may be prescribed by the Cabinet Secretary; The import of this is that the principal Act allows the agency to retain a percentage of the money they recover but that percentage is not defined. To avoid any misuse or abuse in future, much as the Cabinet Secretary is supposed to give guidance, we want to tie that to not more than 5 per cent, which is also the limit for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and to limit the exposure of those monies. That is the whole essence of this amendment. They can retain a percentage subject to Cabinet’s approval, but that should not be more than 5 per cent of the proceeds. I beg to move."
