"content": " So that we may not delay, failure to give information is what we call a misdemeanour in law. It is not a serious offence. It is not a felony. It is not the kind of offence whose punishment should go beyond three months. It is a failure to give information. On that account, I believe the Chair would agree. I see Hon. Gichimu agrees that the punishment of Ksh50,000 and three months is the remit of a misdemeanour, not a felony. Therefore, we oppose it. I can see the former Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the current Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation agree. That is the nomenclature of various offences in law. These are minor offences. They are not like robbery and things that can cause you to be removed from office. It is a failure to give information. Let us reject this amendment and leave it at three months. It is a misdemeanour."
