    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady I beg to move: THAT, Clause 61 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subclause immediately after subclause (3)— “(4) Any person who contravenes this section commits an offence and is liable, upon conviction, to a fine not exceeding five hundred thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both”. This is also very material. I would like to report to this House that Clause 61 in the original Bill provides the following: “61. (1) In the implementation of this Act, a public entity to which this Act applies shall provide the Authority with such information as may be necessary to effectively implement the privatisation.” However, it does not provide for what happens if officers in those entities fail to provide the said information. The clause now provides that any person who contravenes this section commits an offence and is liable, upon conviction, to a fine not exceeding Ksh500,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both. This ensures that officers who are already running these institutions do not keep away material information, for example, not declaring all their assets in order to take those assets for themselves as has happened before in institutions that have been privatised."
