    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not just that. I am trying to keep up with the amendments by the Committee as well. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be amended in subsection (3) by deleting the words “five hundred” and substituting therefor the words “five million shillings”. The Bill provides for a penalty of Ksh500,000 on a person who uses the state of orphaned children. I am speaking from the experience I had of the cases we dealt with when I was at the Cradle. I can give the example of a case that involved a lawyer. The parents died and left property worth millions of shillings. The lawyer squandered the property. The Bill proposes that we fine such a person Ksh500,000. I think that is too lenient. It should be enhanced to Ksh5 million. The fine provided for encourages people to misuse the property of orphaned children. You will sell property worth Ksh20 million and then you are fined Ksh500,000. The fine should be prohibitive."
