"content": "Kshs20,000 to not less than Kshs500,000 and also a period of three years in prison if a person or an institution that has authority has failed to do so. This is done is to make sure that people or persons in authority do not enhance the norm that we know accounting officers have of just failing to comply with the law because there is no punitive measure. Enhancing this fine from Kshs20,000 to Kshs500, 000, will ensure that the penalty is so punitive that one is not ready to be subjected to the penalty or even to be put in prison for a period of two years for their inability to act as required by the law. So, I fully support this Bill and ask the Members of this House to support the passage to make sure that whatever statutory instruments that institutions or Government agencies utilize for purposes of service to the public have the scrutiny that is required by law in Parliament and are also fully implemented as per the law. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support you."
