    "content": "Also, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will find that the amendment now increases the penalty. For example, the penalty for infringing any of those provisions, under the current legislation, is a fine of Kshs2,000 or a jail term not exceeding two months. But now, the proposed penalty will be Kshs100,000 and a custodial sentence of up to five years. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we now come to the next one, which is on the pest control products. Really, the amendment is, first of all, to remove the discretion which is vested in the courts to, more or less, decide what to do with any pest control product which does not meet the standards. But here, we are now making it absolutely clear that, that pest control product must be forfeited to the State and, thereafter, burnt. We are also increasing the penalties under that particular Act which, for now, is Kshs10,000. That is being increased to Kshs250,000. The imprisonment is now six months and it is being increased to two years."
