    "content": "Kshs100,000. That is a fine that should be meted out to an hon. MP. It Is 10 per cent of their salary. Putting it at Kshs100,000 is too much. Let us have a reasonable fine. When you go to London, you will find that committing an offence is 1,000 pounds, but when you look at the income of the victim or the culprit, it is over 10,000 Great British Pounds. When you convert, that is over a million Kenya Shillings. It is reasonable to say they pay Kshs100,000. Nonetheless, for this economy, a boda boda person is making Kshs800 or Kshs500 a day. When you tell him that if he commits an offence here, he will pay a fine of Kshs100,000, that is unaffordable and that is how we create avenues for policemen to collect money. I do not know whether we have a Finance Bill in our respective counties, but in the county where I come from, when I joined the Senate, the boda bodas used to pay Kshs50 as a monthly sticker, then it went to Kshs100. In the last financial year, the Finance Bill pushed it to Kshs300 a month. Right now, they are paying Kshs300 for a sticker. They are going to pay money for their license and they have to get money for insurance. You are now telling them to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
